Found the relevant U.K law regarding NDA's and pay. Seems like the U.K law is surprisingly actually less labor-friendly than American law on this topic. "Secrecy clauses" can apply in so much as the employee isn't comparing compensation to find out if they are underpaid as a protected class. Wild.

It’s not unlawful to have a contractual pay secrecy clause. However, it will be unenforceable to the extent that it prevents an employee from seeking or disclosing pay information to establish if any difference in pay relates to a protected characteristic and so amounts to possible pay discrimination.
