G'day:

I definitely have someone very trustworthy and qualified (probably
over qualified) but he is a relative who would be taking the position
as a way out of his current bad situation. The benefits package we
can afford to offer him would put him in the middle of the pack of
this company (11 employees) but his responsibilities would be
significant. I am very concerned about the animosity that might
develop if he becomes knowledgeable of the salaries and benefits of
others, including mine. Is it common practice for domain admins in
large enterprises to have access to information regarding benefits
packages of co-workers & corporate execs?

According to some sources, "A survey of 300 IT administrators found that
88 per cent said they would steal company secrets if they were laid off.."
(http://www.itnews.com.au/News/NewsStory.aspx?story=83546). By the same
rationale, 80% of us will abuse access. Personally I think this is
bulldust but the debate is on.

There are definitely good and bad in any group...

I would say - if the guy is at risk of developing animosity based on the
information he will be able to access, the risk will be there even if he
doesn't have that information.

Absolutely.

Moral integrity isn't quite a topic of this group.

Good point. Another point is that if you go about assuming the worst in
others, you will likely find your pessimism justified...
