To reveal a pay gap, must you also reveal names?

Realistic synthesis

The people, events, figures, and contract terms are a synthetic premise. They are not statements of real cases or of current law. The source documents are the roots of the background and the norms and do not establish the premises of the scenario.

The question to decide

A large pay gap among members doing similar work has come to light, but the data explaining careers and roles is incomplete, and the stakeholder may not wish to have their real name released. Publishing only bands by job may hide unfair differences, and waiting for an independent review delays correction and bargaining. How should the representative assembly disclose pay information?

The options

The order shown is not a ranking of preference.

  1. Option 1

    Disclose named pay

    Lets differences be compared directly, but changes individuals' control over their information and their relationships.

  2. Option 2

    Disclose only bands by role

    Starts a comparison of systems, but leaves differences within a band and the responsibility to explain them.

  3. Option 3

    Disclose after independent review

    Verifies the context of the materials, but delays remediation and the parties' bargaining.
