What is it?
What is the Universal Fair Pay Check®
The UNIVERSAL FAIR PAY CHECK® is the world’s leading certification for fair pay. As a globally recognized standard, trusted by companies of all sizes and industries, it empowers organizations worldwide to ensure equitable compensation for all employees—regardless of location, size, or structure. The UNIVERSAL FAIR PAY CHECK® integrates the most advanced legislative frameworks from countries like Iceland, the United Kingdom, and Switzerland, creating a universal process that is ready for both current and future legal requirements.
The credibility and impact of the UNIVERSAL FAIR PAY CHECK® are safeguarded by the FPI Screening Board, a panel of international experts from UK, Iceland and Germany.
Developed by the FPI Fair Pay Innovation Lab in Berlin, the certification was closely examined by the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO). The globally unique certification is recognized as a certification trademark since May 2022 to guarantee the properties of goods or services and to identify the mark as a quality seal with guaranteed properties.
Global industry leaders such as Siemens Energy AG, Reykjavik Energy, BMW AG, Puma USA & Canada, Beiersdorf Germany and many more have already achieved the UNIVERSAL FAIR PAY CHECK® certification, demonstrating their commitment to fair pay under the patronage of Germany’s Federal Labor Minister Hubertus Heil.
Our mission is simple yet powerful:
Fair pay for every employee, everywhere in the world.
