Consolidation Act No. 756 21 August 2003 Consolidation Act on Equal Pay to Men and Women

Land
Denmark

1. (1) No discrimination on the ground of sex as regards pay may take place in contravention of this Act. This applies to both direct and indirect discrimination. (2) Indirect discrimination exists where a provision, a criterion or a practise which is seemingly neutral places a substantially bigger number of persons of one gender in a less favourable position unless this provision, criterion or practise is expedient and necessary or can be justified by objective non-gender related factors. (3) Any employer shall give men and women equal pay, including equal pay conditions, for the same work or work given the same value.
