Legal implementation of non-discriminatory remuneration systems

Due to increasing globalisation the modern business world requires companies to be more flexible in order to remain competitive. Performance-related pay systems offer one way of achieving greater flexibility. This paper aims to outline the legal basis and problems associated with performance-related pay in relation to anti-discrimination. The first part systematically examines the legal requirements for performance-related pay. The second part presents the legal basis for anti-discrimination in labour law. Finally the third part offers a solution for reconciling performance-related remuneration systems with anti-discrimination. This thesis aims to increase the possibility of using flexible remuneration systems and to contribute to legal certainty.
