From 7 June 2026, groundbreaking Act no. 76\/2026 Coll. on equal pay for men and women will come into effect, fundamentally strengthening your position in the labour market. Although pay discrimination has been prohibited until now, Slovakia has long shown one of the highest gender pay gaps in the EU, mainly due to a lack of transparency. The new legislation changes this and puts concrete tools at your disposal to verify whether your work is fairly compensated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One of the most significant changes is the complete ban on salary secrecy. An employer can no longer prevent you from sharing information about your own remuneration with others. Any clauses in employment contracts that would oblige you to remain silent about your salary will become invalid from June 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As an employee, you now have the right to request, in writing, information on the average remuneration of colleagues performing the same work or work of equal value. Your employer must provide you with this data broken down by gender. This data will first be available for the calendar year 2027. Your employer is obliged to respond to your request within two months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The law replaces the narrow term \u201ewage\u201c with a broader term \u201ereward\u201c<\/strong>. The right to equal remuneration applies to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n V\u00e1\u0161 plat u\u017e nesmie by\u0165 v\u00fdsledkom \u201edohody od oka\u201c alebo sympati\u00ed \u0161\u00e9fa.
