The new EU rules would end the practice of job seekers only finding out how much they could earn at the end of a lengthy selection process. Starting salaries or salary ranges should be disclosed at the latest before the job interview, but most member states missed the deadline to transpose the directive. Where stricter rules have been introduced, job advertisements that include salaries have increased dramatically in just a few months.
