5.8 PTO Salary Transparency (GOMBA 2022) (A) by Learning Innovation Lab https://padlet.com/edtech_lab/v5q4iksnpht3zxxh The article by Cullen and Perez-Truglia (2018) encourages companies to experiment with salary transparency and to start with an anonymous survey of employees on the topic. Let's see your views on the advantages and disadvantages of salary transparency. What would be the advantages and disadvantages of introducing salary transparency? en-us 2022-07-07 12:32:44 UTC 2025-04-24 09:16:59 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.com/edtech_lab/v5q4iksnpht3zxxh/wish/2274386346

  •  An employee might sue the company for sharing private information about their salary.
  •  It can lead to some employees feeling underpaid and undervalued.
  •   It could negatively affect engagement with colleagues and work in general.

    - when the salary ranges are transparent, an individual does not need to "fight" as hard to negotiate their salary in fear of being payed the minimum. It increases (or at least doesn't decrease) trust in the organization.

    If I know the salaries of my peers, I could easily conclude that there is nothing I can do to earn what they are, as it seems to be either experience-based or random, and this could quickly lead to disengagement.

    If I know the salaries of named bosses, the personal element could come to the fore, and detract from the goal of motivating. For example, if I don't like, or am jealous of, a manager, I could rationalise that the faults which I perceive them to have make them unfit for the salary, at which point my focus has turned away from the role, and the road to get there.]]>     2022-08-29 10:22:34 UTC https://padlet.com/edtech_lab/v5q4iksnpht3zxxh/wish/2274569068     https://padlet.com/edtech_lab/v5q4iksnpht3zxxh/wish/2275067580 People don't have the feeling of being paid worse then other people doing the same job. (In case of equal and fair salaries).
    In consequence, it is easier to negotiate with employees about raises and how performance is tied to a salary.

And if not, they will be unsatisfied or even feel miserable. On the other hand, if someone is already in that corner and the teammates get to know that he/she earns more, envy will play its role.

These policies would avoid some of the drawbacks of full transparency, e.g.:

    • Perceived horizonal inequity leading to less productivity and other negative outcomes
    • Damage to interpersonal relations
    • General feelings of a lack of distributive (as well as procedural) justice in the organization.

It allows systematically linking salaries with positions, also creating transparency in the salary evolution with career progression.

    (Salaries at my company are according to a union tariff system (IG Metall). Each position must be classified according to tariff grading, which determines the salary range for that job. It's somewhat transparent - people will not know the exact salary of someone else, but the range in which the salary lies.)

If management cannot explain, it will create feelings of inequity and dissatisfaction.

But figure, it will also create a lot of discussion about fairness among colleagues.

    -Increase productivity -motivates subordinates to work harder because they understand the future will be bright after all. 

    -Salary transparency will expose organizational injustice among employees which will make companies, strive to create a standardization in salary policy across all boards. 

    Disadvantages:
    -Company will pay more because of disenchantment among workers which may lead to confrontation against HR and its salary policy

    -Transparency will expose the salary disparity among peers which will create unhealthy competition.

    -Some managers will find out about their subordinates who earn almost as well as them and begin to see them as a threat or competitor in team which may lead to unfair treatment. Thus, giving rise to antagonism/demoralization on the part of managers.

Whether that empowerment is then used in ways that will benefit productivity or not is another questions. As the article discussed (... and I have seen first hand), when your co-workers know how much your salary is, it can lead to some very demotivating behaviour. However, that is the choice of each employees to make or to not make. Allowing them the power to choose is the right thing to do.

I have seen first hand how demotivating it can be to learn about a coworker's salary, especially if it someone who does the same job as you and are being paid quite a bit more. This has the potential to cause employees to disengage entirely for a period of time and even has the potential for some to quit or to seek work elsewhere.

The article therefore suggests to use averages (or perhaps salary bands per level). With this approach you may still encouter two issues: (1) If you acually have a problem with great imbalances, you should fix it before such a step, otherwise there may be an outcry. (2) Of course you deprive yourself to use salary differences as a tool - say you need to hire an expert whom you cannot get if you do not pay more than average.

    To me one major advantage of salary transparency is to prevent gender pay gaps. In our company we don`t have full salary transparency but we know how positions are graded and we know the ranges of each grading. So if I want to make a salary jump, I know for which positions I need to apply.

    - encourages employees to work more
    - reassures employees about the capabilities of the company

    Salary transparency on their peers salary :
    - reassure employees about fairness and social justice within the company

    - brings bad competition among employees
    - causes jealousy and strife
    - demotivates employees who are paid less and feel exploited
    - creates a feeling of injustice in the hearts

    - It would be helpful to reveal salaries among team members only if salaries were the same, and collaborated team achievements led to salary increases for all.

    - Revealing salaries of peer employees would lead to resentments and bitter competition among employees if there are differences, minor or large.

    It is also less likely that people feel the need to have conversations about salary.

It also means that you can see the highest salary for your job or the job you're gunning for and if it is not what you expect you may look elsewhere.

Team flow and cohesion is a tough thing to establish and get going seamlessly and I would struggle to jeopardize that with taking the chance that one or two people have a very negative reaction. I also feel that 90 percent of those inclined to be motivated by the knowledge were most likely already driven in some ways. In the creative industry where work can be highly subjective, I see employees who feel their design is the GOAT but the rest of the team feels the opposite and full transparency would be tough to manage]]> 2022-09-16 17:47:32 UTC https://padlet.com/edtech_lab/v5q4iksnpht3zxxh/wish/2300370358 https://padlet.com/edtech_lab/v5q4iksnpht3zxxh/wish/2301212251 +Motivation
