If someone has penetrated your security enough to get the list of hashed user passwords it's assumed that they've got the salt as well. Salts aren't really considered "secret" and they don't make it harder for an attacker to crack a specific password, they just make it harder for the cracker to reuse his work against all the passwords in existence.
