It has been one year since the enactment of Directive 2023/970 of the European Parliament, also known as the Salary Transparency Law. This law will require all companies to make public the salary ranges of all their employees. In other words, you will know if your colleagues receive the same salary as you for doing the same job. With this measure, the European Directive aims to strengthen equal pay between men and women for work of equal value, setting the gender pay gap at a maximum of 5%, compared to the current European average of 13%.

    Article 9.5 of this directive leaves the door open for each country to decide whether or not to require companies with fewer than 100 employees […] to publish this information.

    Here in Washington State it has had some effect. At my work, we had many people leave because their salary wasn’t on the high side of the range even though they were more senior. We also had hiccups in hiring because candidates come in asking for the high end salary but then their experience is abysmal to say the least. But then you train this person for 2 or 3 years for them to actually be of any use, and they leave because now they got something to chase a higher salary with. A small company can’t afford to raise salaries all the time, specially if it’s for people who are in training and don’t even know it. Anyway, to give you a clue, if you fuck up like 5 times and nobody gives a shit, you’re still in training. However, if you think you’re gonna fuck up and upper management call a meeting to discuss the status, then you should probably ask for a raise.

    I wonder if this could help the IT workers from the public sector in Germany (E12, around 2500 €/month).

    Anyone knows why it is like that?

    Once, I heard about some speculative extra amounts made by guarantees in purchases. (Germans love guarantees, and any hardware purchase has a 50% surplus that can easily be split 1:1 between vendor and whoever was in charge. Yes, it would be illegal… But nearly impossible to prove.)

      I work in the Dutch public sector in IT, but with a few years of experience, I’m already beyond 4k/mo.

      Sounds like the union isn’t pulling it’s weight…

      E12 starts at 4.170,32 € gross and up to rises 6.516,74 € depending on experience. That is gross. That is for a job, which is low stress and you can not be fired unless you pretty much commit a crime on the workplace.
