FAIR PAY: For transparency and equality in payments<\/strong><\/h6>\n

On the occasion of today\u2019s World Equal Pay Day<\/strong> (18 September), we share our enthusiasm for our participation in the FAIR PAY<\/strong> project to achieve transparency and eliminate the gender pay gap!<\/p>\n

Equality<\/strong> between men and women is a fundamental right and a prerequisite for a fair and inclusive society. However, pay inequality remains a persistent problem worldwide, including the European Union and Greece. The so-called \u201cgender pay gap\u201d<\/strong> reflects the inequality in the salary paid to men and women for work of equal value or for the same work, and is an indication of broader structural inequalities in the workplace and society.<\/p>\n

Eliminating the gender pay gap is imperative<\/strong>, not only for reasons of equality and justice, but also for reasons of economic development, as the full utilization of women’s potential enhances productivity and competitiveness<\/strong>. In this context, the FAIR PAY Project is being implemented, with the General Secretariat for Equality and Human Rights (GSHE) which is the coordinating body and partners the Center for Research on Equality Issues (KETHI), WHEN Equity, Empowerment, Change, and the Hellenic Entrepreneurs’ Association (SEGE), with co-financing<\/strong> from Greece and the European Union, through the “Citizens, Equality, Rights and Values”<\/strong> (CERV) Program.<\/p>\n

The main objective<\/strong> of the FAIR PAY Project is to contribute to the elimination of the gender pay gap and to address its actual causes, by promoting pay transparency<\/strong> under the European Directive 2023\/970, which focuses on the working environments of businesses. Specifically, the project aims to pilot the implementation of the provisions of the Directive, and will try to identify potential related challenges<\/strong> before Greece puts into force, as it is obliged, the legislative, regulatory and administrative provisions required to comply with the Directive.<\/p>\n
