Finland requires employers with 30 or more staff to produce an equality plan including a pay survey, with comparability drawn from internal job-evaluation frameworks. A government proposal to transpose the EU Directive was issued in December 2025.
Equality plan with a pay survey for employers of 30+.
Compensable factors referenced: Job-evaluation referenced; no single mandated method.
Finland does not name a specific evaluation method, but its equal-value standard means that when pay claims arise, jobs are compared on factors like skill, effort, responsibility and working conditions. A documented, analytical job evaluation gives employers the evidence base courts and regulators look for — without one, equal-value comparisons happen on someone else's terms.
PointFactors implements the analytical, factor-based methodology referenced by pay equity laws worldwide.
