Add Comment Question: What are the rules of discussing salary? I work with my dad and I told him my hourly wage. Someone else found out my wage I'm assuming by my father and I am being harrassed by my HR rep for it. She told me I was not legally allowed to tell anyone including family my salary. Is that true and can i get in trouble for it? Answer: You cannot be terminated for just cause for sharing your hourly wage with your father. If your company does terminate your employment, you should receive severance pay. Your Comment * Your Email * Your Name * Your City Note, your name, city and email is not displayed on the website.
