The Parliament adopted the reform of the act that contains the obligation for businesses to issue pay statistics divided by gender. In addition to extending this obligation to all businesses with 10 workers or more with at least 3 men and 3 women with similar positions, it compels employers to give these statistics to employee representatives and, when they request it, to discuss them with the workers.
Since 2007, all businesses with at least 35 employees, or employing at least 10 people of each sex for the same type of job, have to present annual gender pay statistics (Kønsopdelt lønstatistik). Since this obligation isn’t really respected and, because of its criteria, only applies to about 2,000 businesses in the country out of 300,000, in 2009, the HK union – whose members are mostly women – presented its proposal for a reform to extend this obligation to businesses with at least 10 employees and at least 3 men and 3 women with similar positions.
