As the EU presses ahead with mandatory pay transparency, UK Ministers are considering whether to follow suit. Failing to disclose salaries on job ads fuels discrimination, says the GovernmentData from Adzuna has revealed that nearly 6 in 10 UK job vacancies hide key pay details. Since 2023, the EU has required all of its member states to disclose salary ranges in job ads as part of its Pay Transparency Directive, and Austria has been enforcing strict pay transparency since 2011. However, while the mandate may seem like a no-brainer for applicants, according to many UK businesses, the issue isn’t black and white. Rather than publishing a single figure, consider posting a realistic pay range that accounts for factors like experience, qualifications, and seniority.
