This means that employers and public authorities are temporarily relieved from the obligation to adopt individual acts prescribed by the Act. The Ministry for Human and Minority Rights and Social Dialogue has recommended that these entities continue to update data on gender equality implementation voluntarily.
Any submissions of individual acts will only cover the period prior to the suspension. The Ministry has organized a webinar to clarify the implications of the Constitutional Court’s decision. Starting next year, a new electronic application will be available for submitting data and documentation, allowing employers and public authorities to record gender equality implementation data electronically.
This application aims to streamline the process by eliminating postal submissions. Due to potential technical challenges, the deadline for submitting annual reports has been extended. The electronic submission system will enable employers and public authorities to update their data as needed. The Ministry’s efforts are focused on ensuring compliance with gender equality principles while awaiting the Constitutional Court’s ruling.
