| Abstract: | This paper provides the case study. Some employee was to leave an off-price women's fashion retailer, the 26-year-old computer wizard accessed HR's files and e-mailed employees' salaries to the entire staff. Now everyone knows what everyone else is making. Salary disparities are out there for everyone to see, and CEO Hank Adamson has to do something to smooth things over. Hank's trusted advisers talk with the CEO about his options, ultimately coming down on two sides. Charlie Herald, VP of HR, tends to keep making the salaries public. CFO Harriet Duval sees the need for damage control, and continue to keep salaries private. Should Hank side with Charlie or Harriet? Or find a compromise? What should he do about this serious salary debacle? Four commentators offer their advice on the problem presented in this fictional case study. |
