Begs the question: What are they afraid of?

That's because they don't want you to know you're getting screwed...

To all of you who say it's illegal. It's S. Korea, for your information, and I dunno about that part of the law here, but it's a big multinational company, where everything is checked. Who knows.

If it's Germany, it's in a lot of contrancs but it's not legal. So no matter what's written in there about talking about your salary, you can still do it

Every company I worked for had that clause in the contracts. That was effective 0% of the time. Employees talk.

That’s illegal, they can’t force you to keep your salary a secret from others

If you're in the United States that's against Federal Law! Under the National Labor Relations Act employees have the right to communicate about their wages to other employees at the workplace. Also I just realized this comment is 4 years old. Doesn't change anything lol

That’s actually because if you go around telling your coworkers your salary, they’d face angry employees who want to be paid the same as everyone else. Dirty trick.

They can certainly try to do that. But in fact that would run them afoul of section 7 of the National Labor Relations Act. The idea being that if employees are prohibited from discussing wages and salaries there is no way they can form an effective union. So, yeah, your employer can say that, but if they tried to enforce it you could sure them in federal court.

That is illegal

BusLady, I'd like to know too, but I think, because it makes sense to me, that they want to avoid any jealousy based conflicts within teams, because they know they don't pay everyone the same. In my previous working place (small business), we all knew each other's salaries and there was a lot of "blame games" because of that. Even from bosses, they'd be like "s/he earns that amount of money, so you have no right to complain". So, yeah, keeping it a secret may hide some disgustingly unfair business going on, but at least it keeps a better overall working atmosphere.

Maybe because both of them come form notorious right-wing (hint: follow the money) think tanks and both are engaged in combat with straw men. If you want "facts" you can do a hell of a lot better. The Wikipedia article has lots of citations. Start there.

Then explain why I'm getting paid 12 grand less the the man I manage????

Could be any number of reasons, but if u do exactly the same, or more hours than him. And the same amount of days per year, then it's time to ask that question of your supervisor. I'd also check your countries laws, most, if not all, western countries have laws preventing such things.

In Europe a survey organised by the EU statistics arm Eurostat found 36% of women and 28% of men took sick leave from work, but women took less time off with 14 days absence compared to men's 16. Analysts found women are more likely to stay at home with sick children but don't admit the real reason hence the additional time off sick. Overtime - same problem for women.

I doubt that’s true at all. And men have a shorter life span on average.

America isn't the whole world.

Hey, I am by no means an anti-capitalist. However, if asking for lower pay for all a few people who exploit the system with too low paying jobs win, not the women (or any other group that is unfairly paid).

it's a company tricks, so that more woman buys hand bags

@Hendra I know! I understand, but couldn't they make bigger pockets AND advertise bags like, We'll carry everything you can't fit into your gigantic-a*s pockets. It's not as if I can stuff books and a laptop into my pockets even if they're deep enough to reach my knees...

Yes

do it phantom. do it.

Chris Evans transcends gender...he's like Patrick Stewart. I don't care who you are you want Patrick Stewart on your arm at a party man or woman!!!
