What the report must show

  • Mean and median gender pay gap
  • Mean and median gap in bonuses and other variable pay
  • Share of women and men receiving variable pay
  • Share of women and men in each pay quartile
  • Gap by category of workers, for basic and variable pay

The 5% rule

If any category of workers has an average pay gap of 5% or more that you cannot justify with objective, gender-neutral criteria, and you do not fix it within six months, you must run a joint pay assessment with worker representatives (Art. 10).
