undercompensation
Too little payment
Undercompensation is payment or reward that falls short of what's deserved or required.
An employee receiving undercompensation isn't being paid fairly for their work.
In psychology, undercompensation describes an inadequate response to a perceived weakness—trying to make up for something but not enough: His mild assertiveness was undercompensation for deep insecurity.
