Gender pay gap check by job group
Enter each employee’s job group, sex and monthly pay. The check shows the gap in every group and marks the groups where it is 5% or more.

Employees
One row per employee. Group is the job group number or name from your pay system. Enter gross pay with every component: allowances, supplements and bonuses (this is how Sodra counts it, ministry order No. A1-433, description point 4.4).
For every gap, write down an objective, gender-neutral reason. If there is none, plan how you will close the gap. The Linden tool does this with you step by step, and a lawyer checks the result.
What the law says
Men and women must receive equal pay for the same work or work of equal value (Labour Code art. 140(5)).
5% is not an allowed gap. The State Labour Inspectorate stresses that any unjustified gap between men’s and women’s pay for the same work or work of equal value is a breach (VDI FAQ, question 7.1).
The 5% threshold matters for employers with 100 or more insured staff. Together with staff representatives they carry out a joint pay assessment when all three conditions are met: Sodra’s data show a gap of at least 5% between women’s and men’s average pay in any job group; the employer has not justified it with objective, gender-neutral criteria; and it has not corrected it within six months of receiving Sodra’s indicators (Labour Code art. 23(11), wording from 2027-01-01). Sodra gives the first indicators by 2028-03-01 to employers with 150 or more insured staff, and by 2031-03-01 to those with 100 to 149 (order No. A1-433, point 3.1.1).
How it is calculated
Sodra uses average hourly pay: the total pay of the men (and separately the women) in a group is divided by their total paid hours. The gap is expressed as a percentage of the men’s average (order No. A1-433, description points 5.29, 5.30 and 5.77). This check calculates the same way. If you enter no hours, it compares monthly pay averages. That is exact when everyone in the group works the same hours.
This check is not legal advice. It shows where to look for reasons; it does not judge whether a gap is justified.
