<Several posts about disclosure of salaries and other personal information of employees past and present of the WMF>
Noein, I believe you will find the answers you seek in the latest 503(c) filing that the WMF has published. The WMF met the legislated requirements for reporting of salaries of certain individuals as well as the overall payroll. I'm not personally going to go looking for that document, but it's on the WMF website and I'm pretty sure someone reading this can provide you with a direct link. I don't recall who was on that list, other than Sue Gardner.
I'm also not going to guess what the reporting requirements are for the US government without the documents in front of me, but I'll note that other jurisdictions require either disclosure of the individual salaries of X number of the highest paid employees or, in some cases, of each employee earning over Y amount. I've seen a fair number of these sorts of fiduciary declarations made under various local laws for non-profits and charities, and none of them require the public disclosure of each individual employee's salary.
I hope you will agree that the reporting made under the applicable government legislation and regulation should probably be the place where the personal privacy/public information line should be drawn, because it is consistent across the entire non-profit sector.
So...could someone please add a link to the latest filing? Thanks.
