This is also the case when employers fail to provide clear salary information within their job adverts.</p><p>Both practices, when taken together, can limit an applicant’s ability to understand the value of their skills, and prevent them from negotiating on a level playing field. This can be particularly detrimental to those applicants who have been historically paid less, and who may not benefit from the informal sharing of pay information; ultimately putting them at a disadvantage during salary negotiations.</p> answering member constituency Saffron Walden answering member printed Kemi Badenoch question first answered 07/03/2022 13:43:38 answering member 4597 label Biography information for Kemi Badenoch
