"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. https://www.mytipsandadvice.co.uk/2019-09/are-pay-secrecy-clauses-legal-UKPPPSAR_EU03050301 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. |
Its just such a competitive scene. Couple that with VAs not being a selling point. They just have no legs to stand on in these negotiations. VAs really have to depend on the kindness of the people running these companies in many cases.
