Why not? In US, some states keep it a requirement to disclose the salary bracket for the role. If people here demand for it, I don't see why we cannot have that

Exactly. There is always a chance of biasness in secrecy.

Product Designer

That is a different thing from what OP is asking. The salaries are still confidential everywhere. 
  
 You may hire 2 people in the same salary bracket, but one may be on high end and other on low end.

To be the devil's advocate, would you be willing to part away with your ability to negotiate salary?

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.

Welcome to Office Gossip's Private Community

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

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?

Hey Viners, do you think Startups should provide the details of their financial health to new employees so as for employees to know where they stand ???

Many startups, no financial transparency, founders who say we have enough runway, all bs and in the end laying off people, reducing benefits. Doing secondaries for founders and making big money and running away

Startup Career Rant !!

What’s up with this? I mean, money is an important factor behind applying for a job, so why hide that?
I wish there were regulations regarding that.

Companies not displaying salaries

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.

Are you ok with your Manager knowing your salary?

Senior Software Engineer

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

How transparent is the salary information in your company?

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

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?

Questions from Recruiter

DevOps 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?

Digital Marketing

I am curious what makes people give inflated salaries on an anonymous platform.

Unless you are a sadist and want everybody else to suffer, what is the best case reasoning for sharing wrong info? What social construct am I not able to understand here?

Software Developer

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?

This is with reference to ight to privacy and equal remuneration act 1976

Has anyone refused to reveal their current salary during interviews? I read somewhere that it's illegal for HRs to ask for current compensation.

Management Consultant

Was going through Salary breakdown for Product Managers at various YoE of multiple companies at Grapevine’s own salary database, and also at 6figr. And OMFG the disparity between compensation for same band varies so much, even if the YoE for 2 employees are same. I also saw multiple instances where a person with lower YoE was commanding a significantly higher salary for someone in the same role and band with higher YoE. 

I can’t understand, but why is this the case?? Even the govt has defined pay structure and compensation basis YoE for their employees. Then why can’t the same be followed here in private companies in India. One might argue that YoE might not be the best way to get parity, but how come there is so much gap between wades of 2 PMs in the same company.
