Firms are being told to include salary information in job adverts ahead of the introduction of a new law. The move is intended to give prospective applicants clearer information about pay before they apply for a role.
The government argues that publishing salaries could make it easier for people seeking work to assess job opportunities. Greater transparency could also help prevent pay discrimination, according to the government’s case for the change.
The supplied information does not specify when the new law will take effect, how salary details must be presented or which employers will be covered. It also does not set out any penalties for firms that fail to publish pay information.
The latest position is that employers are being encouraged to prepare for the forthcoming legislation by including salary details in their recruitment adverts. Further details about the law and its implementation have not been provided.
