[Germany] Federal Anti-Discrimination Agency updates pay equality review tool

In Germany, the Federal Anti-Discrimination Agency has announced that it has updated its pay equality review tool, the EG-Check, DLA Piper reports.

The EG-Check is a tool developed by the Federal Anti-Discrimination Agency, which enables employers to examine existing pay structures for gender-based discrimination at the establishment level. 

The tool has reportedly been fundamentally revised and adapted to the Directive's current requirements. It consists of several pay equality review instruments, including the equal value check (GleichWertCheck) and the pay system check (Entgeltsystem-Check).

The equal value check provides a discrimination-free analytical job evaluation method which makes different roles comparable through objective, gender-neutral criteria.

The pay system check lets employers verify whether their pay system or collective agreement complies with the requirements of the EU Pay Transparency Directive through a structured questionnaire.

The EG-Check is not a legislative act. It does not constitute an interpretation of the Directive or national law.
