    It's actually more negative for the company.

    For example if you pursued a company for something like unlawful deduction of wages, then anyone who did a search for them on that website saw the information and then had dealings with the company would be careful to ensure that they got paid/their wages from them.

      This is where we differ. I'm not convinced many people would be happy with their pay being known by others unless they specifically choose the people to disclose this to.

        It’s the choice you take - the final judgement of a tribunal is public which means if you want the money the figures need to be explicitly spelled out.

        and again I see another post where I wonder exactly what you real aim is on here because you really seem to be clueless and unwilling to listen to those who actually understand this stuff

          And if a similar job appeared on a job site, with a rate against it, is that not going to be a hint as to roughly what their pay is?

          Me: Eek works as a window cleaner in Canary Wharf, I wonder how much he gets paid?
          Advert: We are hiring window cleaners for £45-55 per hour working in Canary Wharf
          Me: Well, that was easier to find out than having to stalk him, trawl through to some obscure government webpage, search by the name of the company he was working for, then scroll down to see if I can find him and then read through documents to see if he's ever had a tribunal against them where he didn't understand what he was doing.
          …Maybe we ain’t that young anymore

            No particular aim, but I enjoy challenging my own perspective on things. Just because I disagree, doesn't mean I'm clueless - and why in particular do you think you might understand this stuff better than I? Unless we know each other???

              Fair point - but not all roles/salaries are as visible as others.

                It certainly sounds like it when you've been told the same thing by every single person in this thread and you are still banging on about it. We see this alot so we've a pretty dim opinion of the people when they do it.

                It will end by the thread getting locked as you've had your answer, you haven't listened and carried on to the point the thread is no longer useful and get's locked, which, hy the way it has so could a mod do the needful?

                  Can't be bothered to read the entire thread, but I've just taken out a Professional Standards complaint against my local police force which has me thinking about potential knock-on with contracts as policing is the area most of my contracts has been over the last few years.

                  Current force is my local one (last time I worked for them was as a permie consultant years ago) but the complaint I've made could, if my local force play serious hardball, have a (negative but non-criminal) effect on my PNC record.

                  But hay....lets go for it. IOPC next step if I feel 'victimised' because of my complaint

                    So the OP is just engaging in 'What if-ery'?!
