Strengthening the principle of equal pay between men and women through pay transparency
Forslag til EUROPA-PARLAMENTETS OG RÅDETS DIREKTIV om styrkelse af anvendelsen af princippet om lige løn til mænd og kvinder for samme arbejde eller arbejde af samme værdi ved hjælp af løngennemsigtighed og håndhævelsesmekanismer
- Initiative summary:
- Gender pay discrimination is one of the reasons why women in the EU earn on average 16% less than men. Pay transparency improves access to information on pay, which allows awareness of discrimination and facilitates enforcement of the principle of equal pay. It also enables victims to bring claims. This proposal aims to introduce binding pay transparency measures, to make pay systems more transparent, improve understanding of legal concepts and to strengthen enforcement mechanisms.
