Prohibit Inquiry into Previous Salary Information by Employers

Petition Details

The Government should implement legislation or regulations that specifically prohibit employers from asking about an applicant's previous salary, to help ensure fair compensation practices based on skills, qualifications, and the value they bring to employers.

Additional Information

Inquiring into previous salary history can perpetuate wage disparities and compromises fair compensation. We believe that legislation prohibiting such inquiries throughout the hiring process will establish a fair and just employment environment, aligning with global practices to prevent wage discrimination.

I kindly request the UK Government to consider this matter and initiate legislative action, fostering transparency, fairness, and equality in the employment process.
