Law to force businesses to declare gender pay gaps: Equal Employment Opportunities Commissioner Jackie BlueFAIRFAX NZ Women's pay is not progressing quickly enough, Equal Employment Opportunities Commissioner Jackie Blue says. Equal Employment Opportunities Commissioner Jackie Blue is calling for major New Zealand companies to declare gender pay gaps. I mean, we've asked nicely, we've implored, we've pleaded, not much is happening.

Women's pay and their presence in the workplace hierarchy were not progressing quickly enough, Blue said.
