Is job evaluation required by law in Liechtenstein?

Liechtenstein guarantees equal pay for work of equal value and requires gender-neutral application of job-classification criteria, but imposes no mandatory analysis, reporting or certification. Like Norway, it awaits incorporation of the EU Directive into the EEA Agreement.

What the law requires

Equal pay for work of equal value; gender-neutral classification criteria; no mandated analysis.

Compensable factors referenced: Gender-neutral classification criteria.

The law

Gender Equality Act (GlG), LR 105.1, Art. 3
In force 1999
Citation: GlG (LR 105.1), Art. 3

What this means for employers

Liechtenstein 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.
