Soon, we’ll see our colleagues’ pay – workplace conflicts on the horizon?

Change language:

Equal pay for equal work — it’s a familiar slogan to many, but putting it into practice is far trickier than it first appears. That’s why European lawmakers have come up with an administrative approach to enforce it: if I can see what my colleague earns, I can also ask for the same amount, or even decide to leave if I’m not paid fairly.

Women earn significantly less than men

The professional term for this is pay transparency, a clear and open system that defines what salary range is fair and expected for a given job or position, regardless of gender.

In Hungary, for example, statistics show that women earn on average 17% less than men for the same work. Across the European Union, the gap is slightly narrower at 13%, but it still remains a long way from achieving true pay equality for identical roles.

The EU’s pay transparency directive will apply to both private companies and the public sector, giving member states until next October to create their own regulations to promote wage transparency. From that point on, companies will have to demonstrate that their pay structures are based on objective, gender-neutral criteria, making it possible to fairly compare the value of work performed.
