Charter for equal pay in the public sector
Public sector organisations can underline their commitment to equal pay by signing the Charter for equal pay. In recent years, the cantons, communes and state-associated organisations that have signed the Charter have implemented numerous measures.
Equal pay in procurement
For the Confederation, equal pay is a component of sustainable procurement. Companies bidding for federal public contracts must ensure compliance with equal pay.

For employees: Take action against pay discrimination
If you suspect pay discrimination on the basis of your gender, there are a number of ways you can take action. Read here about what to do and where you can find further information and support.
Financial aid for projects on gender equality in the workplace
Switzerland does not allow discrimination based on gender in the workplace. This is stipulated by the Federal Act on Gender Equality. The Confederation supports projects that aim to promote true gender equality in the workplace in practice and awards financial aid of around 4.5 million francs annually for this purpose. The Federal Office for Gender Equality (FOGE) is responsible for awarding this financial aid.
