CCT No. 25: pay equality

Legal obligationVerified

CCT No. 25 requires pay equality between women and men for equal work or work of equal value. The salary offered at hiring must respect this principle.

Article 2 frames scope by reference to the law of December 5, 1968 on CCTs. Article 3 requires elimination of sex-based discrimination in pay elements and conditions.

Evaluation systems must use criteria, weighting, and conversion to pay respecting equality. Sectors and companies must evaluate their classifications and correct them if necessary. To prepare an offer, verify the job class and justify salary differences by professional criteria.

Article 4 notably covers cash salary, money-valued benefits, and certain supplementary provisions. Thus check all pay offered. Coordinated version last modified by CCT No. 25 ter of July 9, 2008.
