Abstract

The relevance of the study is due to the high prevalence of discrimination in the field of work, and at the same time — extremely low interest on the part of the State in this phenomenon. Although the prohibition of discrimination in employment is admitted as a principle not only in Russian legislation but also at the international level, it is far from being fully implemented in practice. The area of pay in this regard is one of the most vulnerable. Gender and age discrimination are the most common in wage discrimination. It is noted that cases of underpayment of wages on these grounds may be detected either during an inspection by an authorized body or in the case of a labor dispute. However, the outcome of the lawsuit in such cases is not always in favor of employees. Based on an analysis of the court practice, the author identified other grounds for wage discrimination, emphasizes difficulties in implementing the mechanism of judicial protection of workers’ rights against discrimination and proposes measures to overcome discrimination in the field of wages.
