Show Me the Money -- Talking Openly About Salary

George's Employment Blawg notes that it may actually be illegal to penalize your employees for talking about salary:

Does your company prohibit employees from discussing their pay? If so, or if your company disciplines employees for discussing salary, it may be violating NLRB rulings.

For me, I think this is great.

One thing I have always been annoyed at is when talking about salary--arguably one of the main reasons people even go to work--is silently made taboo... all to protect companies against (yet propogate) the fear that your cubicle neighbor is making more than you are.

Transparency is a hallmark of the successful company of the future.  Keeping the salary scale level and open, I believe, is a major part of this.

I have always thought that talking about salary shouldn’t be taboo. In the end is what we are working for.

Mary, I absolutely agree with you!
