I responded about Michelle's initial question, but you certainly raise an
important point when it comes to S2S submissions: I can say that here the
same people who view the paper application now -- and its salary
information -- are the same ones who are creating, reviewing, and
approving the S2S application (we're using InfoEd). In either instance,
all are considered "confidential" employees, and the penalty
for revealing salary information or using salary information in an
inappropriate way is to be fired.

Great question! I'd also
like to hear about any similar issues regarding difficulty in hiding
salary info when using a S2S eRA solution.
