I'm currently working as a temp at a well-known institution. (I'm getting paid a healthy hourly rate for what would easily be a salaried position if I was on staff.) It's effectively freelancing, but I had to join an agency to satisfy this corporation's bureaucracy.

It's in my contract with the agency that the rate they pay me is confidential, to be discussed with no one. Is that also illegal?

Probably depends on your jurisdiction. Some might say you're breaking your contract in doing so.

I wonder if you could get in trouble by disclosing that "I'm paid approximately between $25 and $30 per hour."
