Poland’s Ministry of Family, Labor and Social Policy develops regulations implementing pay transparency measures that may also identify age-based discrimination.
New Regulations Under Development
Poland’s Ministry of Family, Labor and Social Policy is developing regulations to implement solutions from the EU pay transparency directive. These measures are currently in the consultation phase.
Primary Goal: Gender Pay Equity
The new regulations primarily aim to limit salary differences and strengthen tools to combat unequal treatment based on gender. They require disclosure of salary setting principles and objective criteria for work evaluation.
Expanding Beyond Gender
While focused on gender equality, these transparency measures have implications extending beyond women-men relationships. The analytical mechanisms being designed can identify and address unjustified disparities based on employee age.
Potential Impact on Workplace Discrimination
By requiring objective criteria for salary determination, the new regulations could help uncover and reduce various forms of workplace discrimination, including age-based disparities in compensation.
