As Slovakia has long shown one of the highest gender pay gaps in the EU, the state is introducing mechanisms aimed not only at prohibiting discrimination but also at actively uncovering and financially penalising it. The new legal regulation shifts the burden of responsibility directly onto the employer, while passivity in rectifying pay gaps can have devastating consequences for companies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"> Fines and sanctions arising from the new remuneration act <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Failure to comply with the new rules of the remuneration act is not worth it, and penalties are divided according to severity:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Fine for\nreporting:<\/strong> Failure to submit the remuneration report by the extended deadline is subject to a fine. <strong>from 4,000 eur to 8,000 eur<\/strong>.<\/li><li><strong>Fine from the labour inspection:<\/strong> For other breaches (non-transparent recruitment, discrimination) a fine of up to <strong>100,000 EUR<\/strong>.<\/li><li><strong>Reverse burden of proof<\/strong> If the employer breaches the transparency rules, in the event of a legal dispute <strong>he must prove that discrimination did not occur<\/strong>.<\/li><li><strong>Right to compensation:<\/strong> Employees can claim the difference in wages, compensation for lost opportunities, and <strong>unserviceable\nmonetary losses<\/strong>.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The most important dates brought by the new employee remuneration law for employers<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>31 July 2026:<\/strong> The obligation to have transparent salary structures in place.<\/li><li><strong>7 June 2027:<\/strong> First message for companies with <strong>150 and over<\/strong>\nemployees.<\/li><li><strong>7 June 2031<\/strong> First message for companies with <strong>100 \u2013 149<\/strong>\nemployees.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-aliancia-advokatov\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"Hq2xq4Iphi\"><a href=\"https:\/\/aliancia.goodtoknow.sk\/en\/ake-vyhody-a-naroky-pre-zamestnanca-prinasa-novy-zakon-o-odmenovani\/\">What benefits and demands does the new remuneration law bring for employees?<\/a><\/blockquote><iframe class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; visibility: hidden;\" title=\"\u201cWhat benefits and demands does the new remuneration law bring for employees?\u201d \u2014 alliance\" src=\"https:\/\/aliancia.goodtoknow.sk\/ake-vyhody-a-naroky-pre-zamestnanca-prinasa-novy-zakon-o-odmenovani\/embed#?secret=RAdkhz99Fr#?secret=Hq2xq4Iphi\" data-secret=\"Hq2xq4Iphi\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-aliancia-advokatov\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"w1taNPAVOi\"><a href=\"https:\/\/aliancia.goodtoknow.sk\/en\/zakon-o-rovnakom-odmenovani-vstupuje-do-platnosti-v-juny-ake-su-povinnosti-zamestnavatelov-po-novom\/\">The Equal Pay Act comes into effect in June.
