Discrimination on the labour market focused on equal pay compensation discrimination

This Bachelor’s thesis focuses on equal pay compensation discrimination in the labour market, a phenomenon that has been researched many times, though primarily from the point of view of gender discrimination. This work’s objective, however, is to focus on equal pay compensation discrimination based on a workplace. It can be simply described as regional discrimination. My objective incentive to analyse the issue was primarily augmented by recent decision-making of the Supreme Court and the Constitutional Court of the Czech Republic, which issued critical decrees regarding the issue in question last year. This thesis links legal and economic views on the problematics while economic consequences of the new concept of the legal regulation are analysed. The empirical part of the thesis maps the labour market situation where in the data set comprises firms conducting their trans-regional business. Labour value of equal work positions is compared based on criteria specified by § 110 regulation of the labour law. The thesis’ primary objective is to evaluate whether equal pay compensation discrimination occurs and if so, how widespread it is. Moreover, it is this thesis’ ambition to set up possible courses of action to avoid the aforementioned legal regulation while alternatively offering measures that can be adopted to resolve the causation of differences with different regional wages viewed from the point of convergence of marginal regions. As emerged from an empirical study, there is equal pay compensation discrimination in the labour market, which is also determined by lines of business practiced by firms that accede to equal pay compensation discrimination.
