It has been one year since the enactment of Directive 2023/970 of the European Parliament, also known as the Salary Transparency Law. This law will require all companies to make public the salary ranges of all their employees. In other words, you will know if your colleagues receive the same salary as you for doing the same job. With this measure, the European Directive aims to strengthen equal pay between men and women for work of equal value, setting the gender pay gap at a maximum of 5%, compared to the current European average of 13%.

Because the German salary is net and I thus assumed that the Dutch salary is as well.
What do you mean by ”sudden”?
Why net? In Sweden we only ever talk about gross, or as we save “before taxes”, as it varies around the country.
Germans do too, no idea what OC was thinking about. It indeed doesn’t make sense to talk about net as that changes with personal circumstances.
The group E12 that was mentioned starts at 4170€/ month gross. That’s just under the German average wage (but above Median).
Same in the Netherlands, so I’d assume the Dutch salary is gross as well.
Well the German one isn’t though, so this is like comparing apples to oranges
Yeah I think that’s the point they were trying to make :)
I guess I was doing it too subtle :)
Because E12 refers to a very specific salary table. Hence the German salary must be net.
Why would you compare Net and gross salaries?
