APVV-25-0258 Prohibition of Discrimination in Remuneration, 1.9.2026 - 31.8.2030, principal investigator

The project focuses on labor law aspects of equal pay, with an emphasis on current issues arising from the transposition of Directive (EU) 2023/970 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 10 May 2023 to strengthen the application of the principle of equal pay for equal work or work of equal value between men and women through pay transparency and enforcement mechanisms, within the broader legal framework of protection against discrimination based on sex, nationality, disability, and age, as well as the legal implications of the use of artificial intelligence. The project examines the content of the principle of equal pay for equal work or work of equal value in the context of the obligation of pay transparency, procedural tools for enforcing equality, and the role of internal regulations and collective agreements in ensuring non-discriminatory pay conditions. The project also analyzes the impact of the use of artificial intelligence in determining wage conditions and employee performance evaluations, assessing the transparency and accountability of employers in automated decision-making.

VEGA No. 1/0291/23 – Legislative Challenges for Labour Law in the Creation of Diverse and Inclusive Workplaces, 01/2023 – 12/2025, Member of the research team

In the environment of Slovak employers, an active approach to diversity and inclusion in workplaces has been gaining prominence. Targeted diversity and inclusion programmes help increase employers’ attractiveness on the labour market and attract a broader pool of job applicants. Proactively, better working conditions are being created for employees with family responsibilities (still predominantly in relation to mothers), and employment opportunities are increasingly extended to groups that have previously remained at the margins of interest (older persons, persons with disabilities, LGBT groups, minorities, and secondary and higher education graduates).

The aim of the project is therefore to identify and examine labour law mechanisms that contribute to the creation of diverse and inclusive workplaces, with the expectation of formulating several proposals to improve the current legal framework (de lege lata). Through a comprehensive summary of the legal framework governing the examined issues, the project seeks to enhance employers’ capacity in managing diversity and inclusion.
