<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>
