The right to information
Applies to all employers. Employees have the right to know how their pay is determined — and how long the employer has to respond.
- Art. 6 — the criteria used to set pay and pay progression must be objective, gender-neutral, and accessible to employees.
- Art. 7 — the employer must respond to an information request within 2 months at most.
- Art. 8 — employees must be informed annually about this right (the accessibility of the information).
