According a recognized methodology, should be done by employers who has at least 100 workers at the beginning of each year. The goal of this new rule is to end with unfair salary gaps between men and women. Companies must realize this survey by one year. It must be checked by an independant and certified organization. The results will be revealed to workers.

REMINDER

There is no statutory penalty for companies that do not comply with this new rule or for which the 5% unexplained wage gap limit is exceeded. However, notoriety damage can be very important for companies, since the unions have already promised actions in case of non-compliance. In addition, a website listing and publishing a list of “bad students” is already in place.

Companies with between 50 and 100 employees can carry out the wage equality analysis on a voluntary basis. It is not possible to perform the analysis for less than 50 employees, as the sample of data is not statistically sufficient. »
