Recommendation 22
22
Rejected
Paragraph: 109
Lack of pay transparency exacerbates and perpetuates gender pay gaps
Recommendation
We have heard compelling evidence that a lack of pay transparency, particularly at the recruitment stage, exacerbates and perpetuates gender pay gaps. It is vital that employees are paid based on their experience, skills and value to an organisation, rather than on their prior salary or ability to negotiate.
Government response summary AI-generated
The government rejected moving directly to legislation for pay transparency, explaining it would not allow sufficient time for organisations to adjust, could cause backlash, and that it wants to learn from the experiences of other countries before committing to such a measure.
