Performance-Related Pay in Collective Agreements: What is the Deal with the Gender Pay Gap? The Case of Italy.
While the EU asks for the Member States to review their collective bargaining systems in order to anchor pay settings to company productivity, the negotiation of performance-related pay elements needs to consider possible gendered-bias consequences in the choice of the parameters to be used in the measurement of individual performances and in the distribution of the corresponding pay elements.
In the framework of the project Close the Deal, Fill the Gap, the analysis of a sample of company agreements and of selected case studies in Italy highlighted some interesting issues, which will be presented during this seminar, together with a brief outline of the relevant Italian legal and industrial relations context.
