Question
I am aware that HR and my boss knows how much I make.
Do the people in accounting have access to this senstive information?
I know they dealing with money is there job but I wonder if they know what everyone is bringing home each week.
Thanks
Somebody does there.
However, it is very sensitive and if somebody from accounting or HR were going around and disclosing it would cost them their job.
If your company is large enough, the people in accounting probably don't pay much attention to it. I wouldn't worry about it.
Good luck
