Equal work deserves equal pay.
Three years ago, the EU adopted the Pay Transparency Directive.
Now, EU countries are bringing these new rules into national law:
✔️ Pay transparency for jobseekers
✔️ Right to information for employees
✔️ Gender pay gap reporting
✔️ Joint pay assessments
Because equal pay starts with pay transparency.
@EUCommission Oh, so now contracts cannot prohibit employees from discussing their salaries with colleagues? That's great! It's perhaps the best and most impactful part of this directive. It will help organically fix the pay gap without any extra burden on companies.
Salary ranges in job postings, and ban on asking candidates about past salaries are also great. The reporting requirements should help, though they also create problems.
@elgregor "prohibit employees from discussing their salaries with colleagues"
Afaik that rule was completely nonsense and wouldn't have held in front on a court anyway. :)
