Abstract

Im Januar 2018 trat das Entgelttransparenzgesetz in Kraft. Es ist darauf ausgelegt, Lohnunterschiede zwischen Frauen und Männern zu reduzieren sowie mehr Transparenz bei betrieblichen Gehaltsstrukturen zu schaffen. Das Gesetz räumt Mitarbeitern in Firmen mit mehr als 200 Angestellten das Recht ein, Auskünfe über das Gehalt eines Kollegen oder einer Kollegin vom Arbeitgeber zu erfragen. Wie kommt das Entgelttransparenzgesetz in der betrieblichen Praxis an?
