Employees 'refusing to share pay details'

Fewer than one in ten workers will discuss their salary with their colleagues, a new report has claimed.

Research conducted by the Institute of Payroll Professionals (IPP) and reported by onrec.com has shown that only seven per cent of staff have discussed what they earn with their colleagues, although 90 per cent have told family and friends.

It found that 42 per cent of employees would refuse to tell a colleague the amount they earned.

Maurice Cheng, chief executive officer of the IPP, said the findings are good news for employers as they show staff have less opportunity to feel undervalued or dissatisfied compared to their colleagues.

"However, it is still important that employers keep in touch with their staff and regularly assess how happy they are with their current pay," he said.

A recent worldwide survey of pay by Mercer found that British salaries are likely to increase by 3.1 per cent during 2008, 1.1 per cent above projected inflation.
