There may be some unethical ways to gain access to your colleague's salary information, but none that we would recommend. For example, you could try and attain the information through a freedom of information request or by looking at public records, but this could be frowned upon and ultimately get you into trouble. Your best bet is to simply negotiate a better salary with your employer or find another job that pays more. If you’re feeling stuck, consider consulting a professional who can offer advice on how to use this situation to your benefit.

You could try to get access to your colleague's salary information by asking HR for a raise using the same argument they use for giving your colleague a higher salary. You could also try to negotiate for a raise by threatening to leave if you don't get an equal salary, or by seeking promotions that would increase your earnings. Additionally, keep track of any extra hours or tasks you take on and present this information to HR in order to argue for an adjustment in your pay.
