It also requires some employers to publish pay gap information and to update employment records to include equal pay details, aiming to reduce unfair pay differences.
The bill is currently at the 2nd reading in the House of Commons. If it advances, it will move on to committee stage for detailed scrutiny, then to report and third readings, and finally to the House of Lords.
