8.2.7 Tracking pay scale for gender equity

IGU implements a transparent and measurable monitoring system to ensure gender-based fairness in its remuneration processes. The University guarantees the principle of equal pay for equal work between female and male employees; in this regard, it regularly analyzes gender-based pay gaps and develops policies aimed at eliminating such inequalities.

IGU has embedded in its institutional policies principles that eliminate gender-based discrimination to ensure gender equality in remuneration processes. As of 2024, under the framework of the Gender Equality Policy, Policy for The Opposition to Wage Discrimination, and Ethical Employment Policy, salary scales are determined solely based on job description, merit, and performance, ensuring equal opportunities for all staff.

Through these practices, IGU not only complies with legal requirements but also aims to actively contribute to the Sustainable Development Goals (particularly SDG 5 and SDG 8) by building an egalitarian working culture.

The University’s Quality Policy supports processes of sustainable improvement and development in every field and, within the framework of a transparent and participatory governance approach, prioritizes the systematic monitoring of efficiency and fairness. Salary payments are made by Law No. 2914 on Higher Education Personnel, which adopts the principle of equal pay for personnel holding the same title regardless of gender. Furthermore, remuneration policies in higher education institutions are audited annually by the Council of Higher Education (YÖK), thereby providing legal assurance for a fair and transparent pay structure.
