UK plans to require salaries in job ads.

A listing that says “competitive salary” can still leave applicants with the obvious question: how much? The UK government has announced plans to require employers to put salary information in job adverts, so people would know what a role pays before applying. The change is not in force; it is still a plan. Its stated aim is to improve pay transparency and address inequalities. Campaigners say that could matter particularly for young people and women, helping them move toward more equal pay. If the plan is carried through, a basic detail would be there before applicants decide whether the job is worth pursuing.
