Public Sector Salary Disclosure Act

The Public Sector Salary Disclosure Act requires government organizations and certain public institutions to publicly share the salaries of their employees earning above a specified amount, usually around $100,000. This transparency aims to promote accountability and allow the public to see how public funds are being used for employee compensation. The act helps prevent mismanagement or favoritism by making salary information accessible, fostering trust in public institutions. It covers employees across various sectors, including government agencies, hospitals, and educational institutions, ensuring a clear view of high-earning positions in the public sector.
