ABSTRACT
This chapter presents the research findings of several case studies relating to the gender pay gap (GPG) issues in the Polish context, taking into account provisions of the collective labour agreements (CLAs), private and public sectors. The provisions contained in the CLAs reflect the general attitude towards the problem of discrimination based on gender. Undoubtedly, the anti-discriminatory provisions in the CLAs are the first element that can play an important role in the fight against the GPG. Also, the inclusion of specific provisions relating to establishing the additional components of remuneration can have an impact on the reduction or, on the contrary, on the worsening of the GPG. Polish labour law requires a wide protection of employees’ remuneration, which is applicable also to additional elements of pay. CLAs registered at the District Labour Inspectorate in Katowice are of companies belonging to 13 sections.
