The pay gap between men and women at Empa in 2020 was -1.4 %, well below the permitted tolerance threshold. Image: Empa - The ETH Board had the six institutions of the ETH Domain check whether women and men are paid the same for the same work. The results are encouraging: nowhere was the difference greater than 2 %. Up to 5 % is considered acceptable or within the range of uncertainty. The revised Gender Equality Act (GEA) came into force on 1 July 2020. Since then, employers with more than 100 employees have been required to conduct an equal pay analysis, have it verified by an independent body and inform the employees of the result. The ETH Domain voluntarily conducted equal pay analyses even before they became a legal obligation, and these have always confirmed that women and men receive equal pay in the ETH Domain.
