[EMEA] EU-wide guidelines on gender-neutral job evaluation and classification

June 7 was the deadline for the transposition of the EU Pay Transparency Directive (Directive) into national laws. EU-wide guidelines on gender-neutral job evaluation and classification have been published to support them, Eversheds Sutherland reports.

The European Commission and the European Institute for Gender Equality have together published updated EU-wide guidelines on gender-neutral job evaluation and classification (EU Guidelines). 

The EU Guidelines are a practical, step-by-step toolkit. They can reportedly be used by organisations that are new to job evaluation and classification processes and those seeking to refine their existing systems. 

According to Eversheds Sutherland, in practice, they are also likely to act as an informal benchmark for regulators, equality bodies and the courts.

The EU Guidelines are available here. They are not law but rather a voluntary resource offering recommendations, examples and templates.

They are reportedly intended to support employers in designing and operating gender‑neutral job evaluation and job classification systems that provide an objective basis for determining whether jobs performed by workers are of equal value.
