Pay Transparency Act Received Royal Assent

On March 20, 2026, the National Payroll Institute published the introduction of the Pay Transparency Act via the Late Breaking Payroll News, which requires employers to

  • Disclose salary ranges in job postings; 
  • Prevent them from relying on a candidate’s previous pay when setting compensation;  
  • Protect employees who talk openly about their wages; and  
  • Address systemic pay gaps that affect certain categories of employees.


On June 12, 2026, the Pay Transparency Act received Royal Assent, but it is not yet in force.
