Get SGS certified on equal pay

Fair-ON-Pay for companies with 100+ emp

The SGS certificates Fair-ON-Pay and Fair-ON-Pay Advanced are possible for companies with more than 100 employees. The Société Générale de Surveillance (SGS) verifies the compliance of the documents with the Fair-ON-Pay standards and issues the certificate if all requirements are met.

The certificate is valid for 4 years. A maintenance analysis is performed two years after the first analysis.

There are two labels with different requirements:

Fair-ON-Pay

Complete data basis and correct preparation
Compliance with statistical threshold of 5%

Fair-ON-Pay Advanced

Complete data basis and correct preparation
Compliance with the demanding threshold of 2.5%
Calculated net gap is not over 5%
Narrow confidence intervall (within 7.5% wide)
Suitable structural element (other than role)

A pragmatic process with a single point of contact

Fair-On-Pay’s standardized process is simple and efficient. Companies only need to provide certain personnel data. Fair-ON-Pay experts then take over the entire preparation of the data and its consistent and correct processing for the gender pay gap analysis. Therefore, no on-site meetings are required.

The process itself is divided into several steps. Fair-ON-Pay experts are your direct point of contact throughout the process. In general, the Fair-ON-Pay analysis process takes only 4 to 6 weeks.
