Karanina Sumeo: Equal Employment Opportunities Commissioner supports proposed law making companies reveal their gender pay gaps publicly

There are hopes pay transparency legislation will show New Zealand cares about equality. The Government's looking at a law that would make companies reveal their gender pay gaps publicly. It's also considering requiring companies to post starter salaries in job ads.  Equal Employment Opportunities Commissioner Karanina Sumeo told Kate Hawkesby if we want to close the gap reporting needs to be mandatory.  She says overseas examples show that if it's not enforced, there's no incentive for companies to fix them. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
