The formal government response
The government has promised the law. When it publishes the detail, we'll set it against each of our asks.
Waiting on government
No size threshold. Careers pages, job boards, LinkedIn, agencies and internal vacancies.
A minimum and a maximum. "Competitive", "DOE" and "up to" don't count.
The top of the range no more than 30% above the bottom.
The range is what the employer expects to pay. An offer outside it needs a written reason.
Base pay and on-target earnings, listed separately.
Remote roles say whether pay changes by location, and give the range for a UK hire.
Overseas employers, and those hiring through an employer of record, are covered too.
At any stage of recruitment. Past pay carries past discrimination forward.
Fixed fines, a public reporting route, and job boards free to reject adverts without a range.
The advert rule doesn't depend on tribunal reform, so it shouldn't wait for it.
The Prime Minister has promised a law requiring pay in job adverts. One of our ten asks is met. The rest are still open.
70 answers to the government, led by one ask: a real salary range on every job advert in Great Britain.
The government has promised the law. When it publishes the detail, we'll set it against each of our asks.

The same count, rerun on the live board, with the change since November 2026.
Updated every 3 to 6 months
Figures as of 6 November 2026. Updated every 3 to 6 months.
Every open role on the We Are Distributed job board, pulled from employers' own applicant tracking systems.
A role counts as UK when its hiring regions name the UK or the United Kingdom. The US and the five EU markets are matched the same way, by country name.
A range the employer publishes in its pay field or in the advert text. Our own recommended salaries are never counted.
These are roles advertised on our board, which lean towards remote tech and go-to-market jobs. Many come from employers outside the UK hiring through an employer of record. They aren't a sample of the whole UK labour market.
