UK PM urges firms to list salaries in job ads before new law

Burnham emphasized the importance of salary transparency in job advertisements, arguing it would help jobseekers, particularly young people, make informed decisions. He highlighted that the current system often disadvantages applicants, with many not receiving responses due to unclear pay information. The government plans to make salary disclosure mandatory through legislation, aiming to reduce pay discrimination and close the gender pay gap. Burnham also urged MPs to disclose salary expectations for roles in their offices, stating the policy would apply to all employers.
