FAIR PAY aims to contribute to the elimination of the gender pay gap and to address its root causes, with a central objective of achieving pay transparency in enterprises of both the private and public sectors and across the world of work in Greece, while promoting the objectives of European Directive (EU) 2023/970 on pay transparency.

More specifically, the project seeks to pilot the implementation of the provisions of the Directive and to identify potential challenges prior to Greece’s obligation to bring into force the laws, regulations, and administrative provisions necessary for compliance with the Directive.

Main objectives of the project

• Identification and exchange of knowledge on good practices related to systems and tools for achieving pay transparency, as well as the development of guidance, tools, and checklists for assessing equal pay for equal work or work of equal value within the same employer, including the implementation of gender-neutral job evaluation and classification systems.

• Capacity building of employers, business associations, and workers on pay transparency, the assessment of equal pay for equal work or work of equal value, and the application of gender-neutral job evaluation and classification systems, in order to provide the necessary expertise for the design and implementation of pay transparency initiatives.

• Raising awareness of the importance of pay transparency, highlighting the benefits arising from gender-neutral working conditions and initiatives that promote gender equality for both employers and employees.

• Promoting a gender-friendly working environment for women and men, with the aim of strengthening gender equality in the Greek labour market through consultation and knowledge exchange.

To achieve the above objectives, FAIR PAY includes a series of actions such as the exchange of good practices, consultation with relevant stakeholders, production of educational material for employers and employees, capacity-building seminars, and communication, awareness-raising, and networking activities among key actors.
