@juliank@mastodon.social @riley@toot.cat @ysegrim@furry.engineer @grendel84@tiny.tilde.website We may be on the exact same webpage now 😄 about the move towards MORE transparancy: https://ec.europa.eu/commission/presscorner/detail/en/ip_22_7739
Do I understand correctly that German judges will in general approve contract clauses that prohibit disclosure of your salary (history) "to strangers"? I'm guessing no Dutch judge would allow such a clause, if they even exist.
But NL is much like DE in this regard: talking about your salary or financial situation is socially taboo.

@janpieter@mastodon.social In Germany, such clauses are unenforceable. The general idea is, one's salary is one's own personal information, and an employer can't claim to have a confidentiality interest in it. @juliank@mastodon.social @ysegrim@furry.engineer @grendel84@tiny.tilde.website

@janpieter@mastodon.social if it's similar to the UK, it's probably legal to write that clause in there (i.e. they are allowed to tell you that) but not to enforce it in any way @juliank@mastodon.social @riley@toot.cat @ysegrim@furry.engineer @grendel84@tiny.tilde.website
