Wage discrimination won’t solve this - skewing it will create resentment and turnover in another location. If the workload is heavy, I would assume that there is understaffing. And I will emphasize again - wages depend on the reproduction of labor force, not on how much surplus value it brings.

All other things being equal, yes. Wages are based on the reproduction of labor power, not on how much surplus value it will produce in the realization of labor. Read the above chapter of Capital, as well as the chapters on wages near the end of this book.
The value of labour-power is determined, as in the case of every other commodity, by the labour-time necessary for the production, and consequently also the reproduction, of this special article.
