UK government proposes mandatory salary transparency in job adverts
The Cabinet Office has announced plans to require employers to publish salary information in job advertisements under new anti-discrimination laws.
- The Cabinet Office said salary information would help jobseekers make informed application decisions and improve the hiring process.
- Employers that do not publish a job advert must give candidates salary information in writing prior to a job interview.
- The government plans to consult on whether exact salaries, pay ranges, or benchmark rates must be disclosed, with a consultation ending in October.
- The proposals are intended to apply in England, Wales, and Scotland, with legislation to follow the consultation.
