Employers are required to adhere to the principle of equal pay when determining wages and other employment terms for their employees, regardless of gender, race, ethnic origin, religion, life stance, disability, reduced working capacity, age, sexual orientation, gender identity, sexual characteristics or gender expression.
To uphold this fundamental principle, the law specifically forbids employers from terminating an individual's employment based on their request for a correction in accordance with equal rights. If an employee is terminated or subjected to unfair treatment in the workplace, the employer bears the burden of proof to show that the intended action is unrelated to the employee's request for correction.
