Make it a legal requirement for salaries to be included in all job adverts

Petition Details

It's time we made putting salaries in all job adverts a legal requirement.

Many job ads do not include any indication of pay. This lack of transparency is unfair to jobseekers, and can cause undue stress and help perpetuate inequality and the gender pay gap.

Additional Information

Jobseekers have cited pay not being disclosed, alongside 'ghosting', as one of their biggest frustrations. Passing this law should help make the job market fairer and more efficient.

The UK's gender pay gap rose to over 15% in 2021. Including salary ranges in job ads would ensure that employers had to be transparent about pay.

While pay can be experience dependent, most companies work to budgets and industry benchmarks. They should provide an intended salary or salary range on all job ads to improve the process.
