I think we did this as a by-product of having our budget public, rather than as an 'openness' drive. Making staff wages public can be a little tricky from an HR/staff management perspective, and I'm not sure if there have been any 'official decisions' on the topic by WMUK.
Wikimedia UK is a Company Limited by Guarantee registered in England and Wales, Registered No. 6741827. Registered Charity No.1144513. Registered Office 4th Floor, Development House, 56-64 Leonard Street, London EC2A 4LT. United Kingdom. Wikimedia UK is the UK chapter of a global Wikimedia movement. The Wikimedia projects are run by the Wikimedia Foundation (who operate Wikipedia, amongst other projects).
Wikimedia UK is an independent non-profit charity with no legal control over Wikipedia nor responsibility for its contents.
I thought it interesting to point out to the UK Activity Plan

with the projections of salary+payroll costs of each position in the association.

Hello,
In the interests of transparency, the Wikimédia France board has decided this month to make public the salaries of its employees. The 4 WMFr employees fully supported the measure before the Board decided to discuss the matter. Any new candidate for a salaried position within Wikimedia France will be informed of this wage transparency.
As ED, I'm in charge of putting this measure into practice, probably by posting in our annual report.

I understand the arguments I've read but do not share it. Recruited the
best person is a goal of any recruiting organization, but that should
not come at the expense of our values. And transparancy is a core value
of our movement.
