"In Australia, it’s not the done thing to know – let alone ask – what our
colleagues are paid. Yet, it’s easy to see how pay transparency can make pay
systems fairer and more effective.

With more information on how much certain tasks and roles are valued, employees
can better understand and interpret pay differences, and advocate for
themselves. When pay is weakly aligned with employee contributions, pay
transparency can be embarrassing for firms.

As the government continues to legislate for pay transparency, wise employers
should move to identify – and correct – both real and perceived inequities."
