We are proud to have been added as the 47th member of EPIC (Equal Pay International Coalition) where we join members ranging from governments and international organizations to private sector initiatives.

The unjustified pay gap between men and women is still present, and it seems that it will not go away without some focused efforts. Although countless studies and reports show that the gap is there, many still do not believe it impacts their own organisation. The EU Commission is increasingly communicating that the issue must be addressed. Some countries have begun the journey and have insights to share. Data analysis to determine the gap and structured implementation of measures to close the gap is increasingly used.

Dr Margrét Vilborg Bjarnadóttir will participate in this important event on the 29 June.

Margrét Bjarnadóttir, prof. at the University of Maryland and founder of PayAnalytics, and Henrike Von Platen, founder and CEO of the FPI Fair Pay Innovation Lab in Berlin, have been having their coffee together on Fridays since early 2020.

California Pay Data Reporting (SB 973) requires large employers to report pay and specific other data to the DFEH (Department of Fair Employment and Housing) by March 31, 2021, and annually after that.
