[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Federal salaries are a matter of public record.  The amounts listed are not the amount actually paid or received in a given year, so don't show what's on a W-2 for example.

What is the specific identity theft risk, 19:40?  For years every federal employee's job title and Grade/step have been public information.  This merely attaches the current salary for that level and includes any bonus paid.

I was a fed for 26 yrs. including being a ethics official for a large office.  I'm not terribly upset about this, as courts have said, sunshine is the best disinfectant and it's useful to be able to see this information.

It's public money and public information.[/quote]

Not PP but I disagree with identifying salaries for individuals by name, especially for workers in the lower pay grades.  In reality, it's probably more useful for federal employees as a tool to negotiate compensation relative to their peers.[/quote]

I think it is a security risk for people and a violation of privacy. Not everybody needs to know where you work. Salary I agree is ok but your agency and location not so much. At the end of the day though, if you know someone's GS level and location, you know their salary range already. It creeps me out that my ex can find out where I am during the day.[/quote]
