E-mail gaffe exposes RBS pay deals

Yesterday, an employee of recruitment specialist Hays inadvertently forwarded an e-mail detailing remuneration details of around 3,000 RBS contract staff working in areas including risk management and human resources to approximately 800 of those contractors, reports Sky News. Hays, which has launched an investigation into the episode, said the incident did not result in any identity theft implications, added Sky. Earlier this year, RBS was one of four UK lenders which agreed to disclose more details over the pay of top executives as part of the Project Merlin agreement.
