I'm an accounting clerk in a company owned by Japanese investors who seem only to promote japanese to management positions. Most ppl at work know that they will never have an opportunity to advance let alone have a decent raise. I personally am making less than market rate for my position and would love to do something about it. Recently, I came across a document which specificly states how much top level management makes and would like to share this with my fellow co-workers in hopes we could make a change in the pay structure. I'm just worried that revealing this information could lead to legal problems down the line. Also not afraid of losing my job if it means changing the payscale for my co-workers. Any suggestions ppl?

People in HR and Payroll along with many people in Finance do know. Why is it that we think these people can share the "secret" and be ok with that - even knowing that someone else in a similar position is being paid more than themselves? Why is it that the HR director can know all salaries and not be put off by that? Certainly I think that everyone can handle the knowledge - and I think that having an open policy on pay will force executives to be more modest and fair in setting salaries - for themselves and for everyone else. I think the greatest resistance against open salaries is that it takes away power - power of knowledge! Finn Gjersøe Some people know everybodys salary.

Certainly I think that everyone can handle the knowledge – and I think that having an open policy on pay will force executives to be more modest and fair in setting salaries – for themselves and for everyone else.

I think the greatest resistance against open salaries is that it takes away power – power of knowledge!

If for any reason I find out what my colleague is making and I know that person may have more skills or credentials than I, then I shut my mouth. However if our credentials and the skills are the same but the pay is significantly higher then I need to make sure that I am first on top of my job so that during evaluation these points will be mentioned and I will expect an equal or greater variable or a satisfactory explanation. If either does not occur that's more than enough reason to call for unfairness. Thank your for your time.
