What the source says

  • Chapter 3 section 8 of the Discrimination Act: annual survey of pay differences.
  • Article 5 of Directive (EU) 2023/970: applicants shall receive the initial pay or pay range.
  • Article 7: workers have a right to information on average pay for the same work.

Source rows

For the employer · How the employer puts the question

The survey must be documented and auditable, and the pay-setting criteria must be gender neutral.

For the employee · How the employee puts the question

The right to pay information covers the same work or work of equal value, not the pay of named colleagues.

Next step

Read the survey duty against the directive's reporting duty, that is where implementation differs.

All questions

The rows reproduce what the source says. They are not legal advice, and applying them to a specific case is the reader's or their counsel's decision.
