My manager is my CEO. If he won’t know then who will 🙃

20% of 50L and 40% of 10 this will still be lesser, how would he know what percentage to give then

do you think a manager decides the hikes ? 🤦

I can’t tell for everyone but upto a certain extent yes 
 The manager might propose 40 percent while 20 gets approved. If the manager proposes 20 percent in first place it might become 8-9

unless you voluntarily share your salary with the manager to figure out if you are underpaid or not

In GS & MS, your manager doesn't knows your salary. Only MD of your business line knows it.

The definition of manager is totally different in GS and MS, where almost everyone is a VP, going by this MD of a business Unit seems like a senior manager in other orgs 😂

Ideally your manager will know your salary because team parity.

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

In general HR's say we shouldn't discuss our salaries with our colleagues and at the same time they allow your manager to discuss the salary during appraisal.

A manager should only be allowed to tell %age increase, not the actual salary.

As a manager, would you share your salary with your reportee ? If not, why should you know their salary?

Either make salaries transparent, everyone knows each other's salary or nobody should know anyone's salary except HR.

Welcome to Office Gossip's Private Community

Our company offer letter mentions our salary shouldn't be discussed or disclosed to our colleagues. It is confidential.

If we cannot share with the person sitting right next, why are we sharing with every other company we interview.

What's the way out? Can we say we signed an NDA?

[Discussion] Should Current Salary be disclosed?

I joined a start-up (SDE 1) after working in an IT service giant (one of the WITCH) for the past 2 years. There we didn't have any discussion regarding the amount of raise expected, they used to just assign us the percentage (peanuts) that they felt.

Here in the start-up I have heard that we have a say about how much % increase we are expecting post review cycle. I have some questions,

1. Do managers generally know about their subordinate's salary?
2. If not, then how do such discussions take place? Just based on % increment?
3. Or Only feedback is discussed with the manager and salary negotiation is done with HR (who knows my salary)?

In India, can we discuss our salary, compensation plan with our colleague? Is there any generic policy for the same in India location?

Is Salary Discussion Allowed?

Support Specialist

By making salaries transparent you’ll end up signalling who gets paid for what skills, and how you can reach similar levels if you manage to put in hours/ up-skill yourself?

This should reduce the number of employees who’ll be unhappy if they find someone else’s salary later on to be really high. 

Also, we will get rid of draconian law, which kind of stops employees from talking about salaries. 

Does any company in India have salary transparency as one of the their core agenda to attract talented folks?

Should companies offer salary transparency?

Product Owner

Do you discuss it openly? Or is it the same old "it's confidential, don't discuss the salary with anyone"?

why do people feel uncomfortable or bad about sharing salaries with peers of the same level? if you share it then only you will get to know how much you are getting paid comparatively and next time you ask what you deserve in appraisals. why are we not helping ourselves?

Had the first (exploration) call with my would-be boss and HR lead to figure out which role I would fit in. Company is an MNC startup, best culture ive heard of, lots of friends working there in different verticals etc. I usually dont reveal salary this early on but it was a very quick call and they asked about it and I felt like I had to this time to not come off as a snob or stuck up.

Chances are low and I am okay pushing back but Im paranoid about getting lowballed now. Any advice on how to better my chances in the upcoming rounds? Greatly appreciate any help

Revealing salary in the first round. Yay or nay?

It depends on where you are in terms of the compensation spectrum. It can definitely lead to bias if your current salary is not on the higher side. 
  
 For too long, I have played this back and forth game of revealing salary and asking them for budget and frankly, it’s too tiring in Indian recruitment circles. 
  
 So, I have started just being honest from the beginning about my current pay & expectation and have seen recruiters be transparent about their budgets too. 
 Eventually if a company has to lowball they anyway would, but I am glad that I don’t have to exercise so much cognitive effort playing this game of riddles

Tech Lead

I have been managing teams for multiple organisations for quite a few years. It saddens me to see most of the organisations trying to exploit employees by paying inadequate compensation. Gender pay gap exists for real. I want to file a PIL and maybe get a law passed to ensure all employees are paid fairly. Can someone help me get in touch with a good lawyer who can help me file a PIL?

How many folks here 100% refuse to share last salary and are adant that HR state their budget. How do you guys do it and also has it ever happened that you needed up losing a great opportunity coz of this???

Refusing to tell last salary

So, my company just started publishing salary ranges for all positions internally. It's been... interesting, to say the least. 

Some people are thrilled about the transparency, while others are pretty upset about what they've learned. It's definitely changed the vibe around the office. Has anyone else experienced this kind of wage transparency? 

I'm really curious how it affects team dynamics and motivation in the long run.

How do you feel about a fully transparent salary system?

Welcome to IT Company Discussion's Private Community

Guys,
I have 8 years of IT experience out of which , 2.5 in azure. I got a call from Capegemni HR , saying there's an azure opening, asked for my current and expected CTC. I said the current is 7 LPA and expected is 20 LPA. It's a hybrid role with 3 days working from the office. She said it is not possible, Max they can give is 10-13. I am in Kerala,and have a baby under 1. I have to relocate if I get it. I don't think it is fair salary.

Is it ok if we don't tell when they're asking for our current salary based on which they will give max 100% if we perform exceptionally in the interview.

Or how can I deal this?

Thanks in advance.

Revealed current CTC and got bad offer

Data engineer

I had been toiling in my current organization for a good while despite the compensation not being totally fair. Whenever I brought this discussion up with the CEO, he always played the friend card and promised to give me what I deserve once the company raises the next round. He also claimed to have supposedly saved me from the layoffs which was completely in his control in the first place. Now I got a better offer, kind of like a dream offer- one that I well deserve, and have convinced a challenging panel to get. One small concern is that during the initial stages of the application, I lied about how much I was getting paid currently. Now that I actually made it and got the offer, I have to submit the documents. How far are these things taken seriously?

Will payslip verification be taken seriously?

When should one communicate to HR about receiving only half their salary due to market conditions in their current company during salary negotiations?

Should salaries of all employees in private companies be made transparent, similar to government structures with fixed brackets? Is it legitimate to expect this level of transparency?

Transparency could also foster employee trust, discourage discrimination, and promote equitable compensation practices.
