Opinions vary as to whether the government’s plan to require employers to post salary ranges on job ads will help women earn as much as their male colleagues.
The Minister of Labour, Immigration, Training and Skills Development David Piccini laid out the plan to require salary range posting during an announcement where he also spoke about two other upcoming changes: the plan to open up consultations about banning non-disclosure agreements in cases of workplace sexual harassment, misconduct or violence, and the requirement that employers indicate if they are using AI-based tools to help in the employee recruitment and hiring process.
All three agenda items are expected to be part of an update to the Working for Workers Acts.
