Austria - Union hopes legislation will bring equality further - March 6, 2011

The VIDA services union thinks that the equal treatment law that took effect on 1 March will help progress towards pay equality. The law requires employers to provide details of men’s and women’s pay, including various additions and allowances. The law initially applies to employers with over 1,000 employees but will be extended to smaller employers over the next three years. The equality report will be confidential within the company and either provided to the works council or, where there is no works council, to the whole workforce.
