Top German labor court boosts equal pay procedure for women
Germany s top labor court has ruled for a woman who was paid less than her male colleagues, ruling that the burden falls on her employer to prove that the disparity is not based on gender.
The executive, who managed a department within a public insurer in Hanover, had used Germany s relatively new pay-transparency law, which requires employers to disclose male colleagues wages or salaries.
The Federal Labor Court ruled that her earning €1,006 ($1,218) less per month than the median compensation, in terms of basic salaries and bonuses, of six male colleagues in comparable positions was an indicator of gender discrimination.
