EU-wide guidelines on gender-neutral job evaluation and classification: Step-by-step toolkit

Even with a positive result, regular follow-up is essential:

• Ensure that job evaluation and classification outcomes are included in pay gap reports and refer to them when implementing measures to rectify gender bias or undervaluation
• Track appeals, job role regrading cases and organisational changes that could introduce new risks to non-compliance with the principle of equal pay for equal work or work of equal value between women and men
• Negotiate regular reviews of collective agreement clauses to check how gender-neutral job evaluation and classification is conducted and whether it is being applied fairly.
