Smarkets encourages their staff to have pay rise requests endorsed by peers who offer suggestions on a suitable rise percentage.
Smarkets公司鼓励员工向公司提出加薪请求，这一请求需要得到同事们的支持，同事们还会对合适的加薪幅度提出建议。

但如果员工对同事提出的加薪建议不满，他们也可以提出自己的要求。加薪幅度一般在10%到30%之间。
The radical pay transparency policy also allows staff to check their colleagues' salaries in a bid to minimise the gender pay gap.

Angeline Mulet-Marquis, a software engineer at Smarkets, said: 'Most people get what they ask for.'
Smarkets公司的软件工程师安吉丽娜•穆莱特-马奎斯说:“大多数人都能得到想要的薪水。”
Ms Mulet-Marquis requested a 12 percent rise in her last appraisal which was granted to her.

去年，英国广播公司被迫披露了一些高级职员的工资，显示男性在14个薪酬最高的职位中占12个，并引发了关于同一工作薪酬不平等的投诉。
Software engineer Caglar Senel said allowing employees to see each other's salaries is a way through which companies can ensure equal pay.
软件工程师卡尔加•塞内尔说，允许员工看到同事的薪水是公司确保同工同酬的一种方式。

In Norway the tax agency publishes key information online about taxpayers each year, including their earnings and wealth, allowing Norwegians to see how much their colleagues are earning.
在挪威，税务局每年都会在网上公布纳税人的主要信息，包括他们的收入和财富，这样挪威人就可以看到他们的同事挣了多少钱。
There are similar approaches in Finland, where people can request tax information by phone or in person, while in Ireland employees have a right to request pay information broken down by gender for the same level of work.
芬兰也有类似的做法，人们可以电话问询或亲自前往有关部门要求得到税务信息，而爱尔兰的员工有权要求提供按性别分类的同级别工作的薪酬信息。
A study by the European Commission found 'cultural sensitivity' was the most common barrier to rolling out similar pay information rules across the continent, while in Britain the associated costs were the main obstacle.
欧盟委员会的一项研究发现，“文化敏感性”是在欧洲大陆推广类似的薪金信息规则的最常见障碍，而英国的主要障碍是推行计划的相关成本。
Despite the challenges in different countries and for big companies, Ms Mulet-Marquis urged other firms try a transparency drive.
虽然透明薪酬政策在不同国家和大公司面临挑战，马奎斯仍鼓励其他公司大胆尝试。
'The advice would be to have healthy communication even outside of the salary review,' she said.

'If your teams don't communicate well, that process is probably not going to work anyway, you have to build it on something that's already healthy.'
“如果你的团队沟通不良，那这个系统就可能无法起作用。这个系统必须建立在已经很健康的公司机制基础上。”
