Overview
- - The government sent the draft to employer and union representatives on Friday, with a final meeting set for 19 March before it heads to Parliament.
- - Job postings would have to state a salary or range, and employees could request average remuneration by sex within comparable job categories.
- - Companies with 50 or more employees would report seven indicators replacing the Pénicaud index, including a category-level gender pay-gap metric that would not be published.
- - Reporting would scale by size: annual for firms with more than 250 staff, but the seventh indicator only every three years for those with 50–249, with possible exemptions for 50–99 through company agreements.
- - Enforcement centers on penalties for failing to declare, while gaps above 5% must be justified or corrected; unions object to weaker provisions, and ministers now foresee a Senate start in early summer and Assembly review in autumn, making the 7 June EU transposition deadline unlikely.
