Over half of the country's brokers have not prepared for the introduction of new equal pay requirements, according to a survey by Peninsula.
The government is introducing the equal pay questionnaire in a bid to address sex and pay discrimination in the workplace. It will enable employees to request information on colleague's salaries.
However, 11% of brokers were unaware of the survey's implications, according to the survey. A further 31% of brokers sampled said they had only sought limited advice.
Some brokers countered the report's findings claiming they are prepared for the implications of the new requirements.
Jardine Lloyd Thompson said: "JLT was not part of this survey. Our employees are without question our most important asset which is why we strive to be the employer of choice in our sector.
"This means that we as a company take our social, moral and legal responsibilities to our employees very seriously, and that includes our obligations under the equal pay questionnaire."
