Make it a legal requirement for job adverts to display the salary of the role

Rejected 11 signatures

What the petition asks

Make it a legal requirement that employers and recruiters have to display the salary offered for a role on job adverts.
Searching for a new job can be a time consuming effort and job hunters can waste several hours applying for a job only to find that the salary is significantly lower than expected. It may also help reduce the gender pay gap by having transparency of pay scales from the outset.
