Spain set to fine firms over gender pay gap
By EUobserver
The Spanish government is set to fine businesses up to €187,000 if they fail to reveal how they set base salaries and perks for employees, following a decree passed on Tuesday. The move is aimed at outlawing the gender pay gap between men and women in Spain, which is currently around 22 percent. Spain's labour minister Yolanda Díaz said the new rules were "historical."
