My employer accidentally sent me another employee's salary information. Now I know I'm significantly underpaid. Do I pretend I never saw it?

  • I thought Organization have the pay scale? There is a lot of politics in some Organizations I wonder why?

  • Your colleagues on the same role as you can earn more than you due to these factors; previous salary, years of experience,... qualifications/certification and negotiation skills. Let the HR know that someone else's salary information was mistakenly sent to you.  more

  • You should respond to the email indicating that he sent you information not meant for you. That shows professionalism. The rest is none of your... business. Do your job until your opportune time comes to negotiate your salary. Never refer to that information in all your discussions. more

  • Ok this is typical in many workplaces, you find so many salary disparities and it all comes down to how you negotiated,you can't blame anyone for... that. more

  • This is a tricky one. You have to be certain of three things:
    1. Qualifications
    2. Terms of employment
    3. Efficiency and productivity
    These things... do have some intricacies so you don't end up shooting yourself on the leg.

    If you're very sure you deserve better, then push for it. If not, just improve yourself before fighting.

  • No don't pretend you never saw it. Go and report the issue to your account department so that they can solve the problem
