  • The number of employees who received a raise upon their return from maternity leave,

• The level of parity within the 10 highest salaries

How to calculate the index of professional equality between men and women?

Every year, companies with more than 50 employees must calculate this index and then publish it. This must be visible on our website.

It wasn’t always mandatory. In addition, obligations change over time:

  • Companies with more than 1,000 employees -> since March 1, 2019;
  • Those of more than 250 employees -> since September 1, 2019;
  • Companies with more than 50 employees -> since March 1, 2020.

In order to calculate this index, it is necessary to use the government’s online simulator. Note that the year index is based on N-1 data. That is, the 2022 index is based on 2021 data.

Which employees are taken into account by the index?

All employees who worked during the period are counted by the index with the exception of:

  • Apprentices
  • Holders of a professionalization contract
  • Employees made available to the company by an external company (including temporary workers)
  • Expatriate employees, as well as employees absent for more than half of the annual reference period considered
  • Employees in pre-retirement

How to interpret the result ?

Our index is slightly below 75 points (minimum required), XP LOG undertakes to quickly implement the necessary corrective measures, the annual objective being to succeed in reaching 75 points or more for the year 2022.
