Clauzele de confidentialitate privind salariul nu vor trebui eliminate din contractele individuale de munca, insa vor trebui adaptate pentru a nu impiedica exercitarea drepturilor stabilite de Directiva (UE) 2023/970 privind transparenta salariala
The EU Pay Transparency Directive introduces new obligations for employers regarding salary disclosure and confidentiality clauses.
