"Employers will have to guarantee a fair and transparent recruitment process, using gender-neutral job descriptions and informing candidates about starting salaries or pay ranges."
"Contractual clauses that forbid workers from discussing their salaries with colleagues will be prohibited, allowing for greater transparency and fairness in pay."
"For the first time, the directive covers intersectional discrimination, addressing the combination of inequalities such as gender, ethnicity, sexuality, or disability."
"Companies will have to report to national authorities about the gender pay gap, ensuring accountability and progress towards pay equality."
The EU pay transparency directive seeks to address the gender pay gap, where women earn 11% less than men for the same jobs. It mandates employers to implement fair recruitment processes, use gender-neutral job descriptions, and disclose salary information. Employers cannot inquire about previous salaries or restrict salary discussions among employees. Workers can request information on average pay levels and claim compensation for discrimination. The directive also addresses intersectional discrimination, covering various inequalities beyond gender.
