Iceland has made it illegal to pay men more than women.
A new law enforcing equal pay between genders came into effect on January 1, 2018, according to Al Jazeera.
Under the legislation, firms that employ more than 25 people are obliged to obtain a government certificate demonstrating pay equality, or they will face fines.
