Are you ok with your Manager knowing your salary?

In general HR's say we shouldn't discuss our salaries with our colleagues and at the same time they allow your manager to discuss the salary during appraisal.

A manager should only be allowed to tell %age increase, not the actual salary.

As a manager, would you share your salary with your reportee ? If not, why should you know their salary?

Either make salaries transparent, everyone knows each other's salary or nobody should know anyone's salary except HR.

20% of 50L and 40% of 10 this will still be lesser, how would he know what percentage to give then

I can’t tell for everyone but upto a certain extent yes The manager might propose 40 percent while 20 gets approved. If the manager proposes 20 percent in first place it might become 8-9

In GS & MS, your manager doesn't knows your salary. Only MD of your business line knows it.

The definition of manager is totally different in GS and MS, where almost everyone is a VP, going by this MD of a business Unit seems like a senior manager in other orgs 😂

unless you voluntarily share your salary with the manager to figure out if you are underpaid or not

Ideally your manager will know your salary because team parity.
