US law does. That may or may not be the case in the UK.

  My contract (in the UK) explicitly states that sharing compensation or bonus details is considered gross misconduct, which is a dismissable offense.

    This looks like a typical lie that employers like to put into contracts, and it seems it is: https://metro.co.uk/2018/11/09/can-your-boss-stop-you-talking-about-salary-with-your-coworkers-8122544/ https://metro.co.uk/2018/11/09/can-your-boss-stop-you-talkin...

      Well, it's not a lie that it's in my contract and that I signed it.

        It is true that this clause is there in your contract, sure. But the clause itself is a lie - it’s void, because it contradicts the law, yet it is there, to make an impression that it’s not void.

  There is no specific protection for it, but at the same time it also cannot be forbidden to be discussed. Employment protection in the UK is string enough that you cannot just fire someone for discussing it.

  UK: you may discuss your pay to see if there's any discrimination (gender etc). (Maybe in other circumstances too, I'm not sure) https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2010/15/section/77 https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2010/15/section/77
