Editorial policy
Every figure here carries the date it was last checked against its source, and every correction is dated and kept on the page.
This page states how that works, and how AI is used in drafting.
Corrections
When we find or are told about an error of fact, we correct it in the article and add a dated note at the foot of the page saying what changed and why. We do not silently rewrite. Errors that change a conclusion are also listed on this page. To report an error, use the contact form; we aim to reply within two business days.

Updates
Every figure on this site shows the date it was last checked against the source. "Last full data refresh" in the footer is the date on which every figure in the dataset was re-checked. The "Updated" date on an article changes only when the substance changes (a figure re-checked, a section added or removed) — never for cosmetic edits. Figures not re-checked within 90 days are flagged "Not re-checked since (date)".
How we use AI
Drafts on this site are written with the help of AI tools and then checked by the editor against the source documents listed on each page. No figure on this site is generated by AI; every number is copied from the source shown and dated. There are no illustrations on After the Salary.
What I do not do
No hands-on testing, no paid placements, no sponsored posts, no press samples.
The ordering method and the formula behind every figure are on the method page; the money side is on the disclosure page.
