What is Equal Remuneration Act?

India's central legislation enacted in 1976 that mandates equal pay for men and women performing the same work or work of a similar nature, and prohibits gender-based discrimination in recruitment, training, and promotions.

Why it matters in hiring

Equal Remuneration Act comes up whenever teams compare candidates, set policy or report on people data. Getting the definition right keeps decisions consistent, which is the same reason springhire scores every applicant against the same criteria rather than on impression.
