Workers are now able to speak freely about their salaries, and it's got experts speculating about what this means for Kiwis. The House passed a new law last night preventing employers from taking legal action against workers talking about their pay. The bill, introduced by Labour's Camilla Belich, essentially renders pay secrecy clauses unenforceable. Employment lawyer Jordan Boyle says New Zealand already has a culture of keeping pay private. "People may feel a little bit more freedom to ask, but you don't have to share. People may choose to share, employers may face some difficult conversations."
