<p>There is growing evidence to show that, when pay is negotiable, asking applicants
to disclose previous earnings and not including salary information in the advert increases
the risk that historic disparities will be replicated.</p><p>On International Women’s
Day this year, we called on all employers to provide salary information in all of
their job adverts, and to stop asking about previous salary during recruitment.</p><p>We
recognise that some employers may find it challenging to take these steps, due to
historic pay decisions and lack of clarity in pay processes. That is why we also announced
that we will work with employers to develop and pilot a methodology to support them
to adopt these measures.</p>
