This publication describes the background to current Swedish legislation on equal pay surveys and what the rules mean. It also summarises what has emerged from the scrutiny and supervision of this legislation. On 1 January 2009, a new, comprehensive Discrimination Act entered into force. The provisions on pay surveys contained in the old Equal Opportunities Act have been incorporated into the new law, with certain changes. Compliance with the Discrimination Act is supervised by the Equality Ombudsman.
During 2009 ordering publications from the Equality Ombudsman is free of charge. If you order more than 10 copies, the Equality Ombudsman will charge you for the freight.
