Employment policy pay scale equity
Università IULM has a formal policy on pay scale equity including a commitment to measurement and elimination of gender pay gaps. The university guarantees equal economic treatment for equivalent contractual classes and professional roles, regardless of gender, age, or any other personal characteristic.
All employment contracts within IULM follow the university’s internal regulations, which define remuneration exclusively according to professional classification and role seniority, not gender or personal status.
This commitment is aligned with:
- Legislative Decree No. 151/2001, Article 3, on equal treatment and pay for men and women;
- Legislative Decree No. 198/2006, Article 28, prohibiting any direct or indirect pay discrimination for the same work or work of equal value;
- and Article 157 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU), ensuring equal pay for equal work.
To ensure transparency and accountability, IULM maintains a secure and anonymous whistleblowing platform, accessible to all employees, which allows the reporting of any irregularities or discriminatory practices in remuneration or career progression. Reports are handled confidentially, ensuring protection from retaliation.
Through these instruments, IULM upholds its institutional commitment to equitable pay, fairness, and ethical employment practices, in line with SDG 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth) and SDG 5 (Gender Equality).
