This comprehensive definition ensures that all elements contributing to a worker's total compensation are considered when assessing pay equity and transparency.

As defined in the French Code du Travail and reinforced by the draft law, remuneration encompasses the basic or minimum salary, as well as all other advantages and accessories, whether paid directly or indirectly, in cash or in kind, by the employer to the employee by reason of their employment. This broad definition includes bonuses, allowances, benefits in kind, and any other component of total compensation, ensuring that all elements are subject to the equal pay principle.
