"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."
"People already in employment will have the right to ask for information about average pay levels, by sex and job category, as well as criteria used to decide pay and career progression."
"Discriminated workers will be able to claim compensation, not only related to the salary but also to bonuses and benefits."
"For the first time, the directive also covers 'intersectional discrimination', addressing the combination of several forms of inequality, such as gender and ethnicity, sexuality or disability."
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 forms of inequality.
