I think the hardest bit about salaries is that most people bring an intangible amount of value to their companies, with pay usually determined by the local market.

For example, I'm not sure how you'd accurately determine how much someone in HR middle management brings over the course of a year, or for someone working in corporate PR.

The company I work for has extremely transparent pay - you keep a % of the amount you bring in. It's no great secret how much anyone makes in a given month, nor how much the company brings in. But this only really works in that we're all working sales jobs, so you don't have to justify anything.
