Call for employers to reveal pay scales, close gender pay gap

From Morning Report, 6:47 am on 27 August 2019

The Human Rights Commission is calling for employers to be made to reveal their pay scales so that staff can find out if they're earning what they should be.

The commission hopes this will help close the gender pay gap, which persistently hovers around 9 per cent.

The Equal Employment Opportunities Commissioner Saunoamaali'i Karanina Sumeo has got the short end of the stick when it comes to pay. She spoke to our reporter Tom Furley.
