A person with a great deal of experience may be able to request more pay then someone with less or no experience doing the same job, even if the lower paid person was there for a significant amount of time preior to the new hire.
This is a main reason, however, that most employers instill a no discussion policy about pay rates. It might be a good time, if there has been sufficient time in the job, to approach the boss for a raise but do not be too surprised if you still do not get as much as the other person or even get turned down.
Be careful discussing your reasons for the raise, make it about your qualities, punctuality, not calling in sick often, good work repor with others, good productivity, cleanliness, ability and willingness to work with others and maybe even teach some newer employees. Do NOT make this about the other employee, ion fact do not even mention them for a raise is, or should be, based solely on merit!

Does a home based business have to pay payroll taxes for an employee?
It depends on if the employee is considered a contractor meaning does the employer have any say in how results are produced and if the employee makes over $500.00 If the employee is not a contractor, then taxes need to be paid by the employer and the employee. A good place to get more information on this is a local small business association.
