Pay transparency - The next step to end the gender pay gap

Event
Rue Belliard 99, 1040
Brussels
Belgium

The Commission proposed in March 2021 new pay transparency measures, such as pay information for job seekers, a right to know the pay levels for workers doing the same work, as well as gender pay gap reporting obligations for big companies. The proposal aims to strengthen the tools for workers to claim their rights and facilitate access to justice. Employers will not be allowed to ask job seekers for their pay history and they will have to provide pay related anonymised data upon employee request. Employees will also have the right to compensation for discrimination in pay.

Bureaucratic measures will have very little effect on the gender pay gap

In order to address the gender pay gap, the root causes of the gap must be carefully assessed and correctly identified.
