pay transparency
Visible compensation policies
Pay transparency is the practice of openly sharing information about employee compensation within an organization or job market.
This can range from publishing salary ranges in job postings to disclosing what current employees earn.
Advocates argue it helps close wage gaps and gives workers leverage in negotiations: Pay transparency laws now require employers to list salary ranges.
Critics worry it creates workplace tension or competitive disadvantages.
