answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/02/2024 answer text <p>There is growing evidence to show that when salary information is not transparent, it has an impact on how people, particularly women and those from ethnic minorities, negotiate pay. This can ultimately result in lower starting salaries and smaller pay rises. In light of this, we have considered the merits of making this a requirement.</p><p> </p><p>However, we appreciate that some employers may find it challenging to be fully transparent about pay, and for many organisations, moving immediately to a system of full pay transparency would require a period of adjustment. We therefore do not believe that introducing a legal requirement to disclose this information is the right course of action.</p><p> </p><p>However, in order to encourage and assist employers in voluntarily adopting this, we are considering what further support employers may need. In addition, our pay transparency pilot will provide insights on the impact it can have.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Lewes answering member printed Maria Caulfield question first answered 01/02/2024 14:42:00 answering member 4492 label Biography information for Maria Caulfield
