To guarantee the absence of direct and indirect discrimination between women and men in workplace promotion and professional advancement, allowing positive-action measures aimed at eliminating or compensating situations of discrimination; more broadly, the law regulates gender-discrimination issues including pay, promotion, opportunities, and work–life balance.

Article 24 (Promotions) establishes that promotions take place according to the company agreement or collective agreement between the company and workers' representatives, taking into account training, merit and seniority alongside the employer's organisational powers (paragraph 1); and requires that promotion criteria and systems guarantee the absence of both direct and indirect gender discrimination, permitting positive-action measures where needed (paragraph 2).
