In pretty much every step of life people are out to take advantage of 
you if you can't do basic maths or don't pay attention (employers, 
banks, shops, car salesmen, etc.). I don't think it's unique to dodgy 
employers trying to screw over their staff.

A good example is getting a home-loan here in the UK. Most banks will 
offer a number of different products with different combinations of 
interest rates and initial fees. If you can't do the calculation to 
figure out which is the cheapest then you're likely going to be paying 
more than someone who can, especially as the bank is obviously going to 
promote the one that makes them the most money.
