Compensation should cover in full the loss and damage sustained as a result of gender-based pay discrimination in accordance with the case-law of the Court of Justice ( 15 ) . It should include full recovery of back pay and related bonuses or payments in kind, as well as compensation for lost opportunities, such as access to certain benefits depending on pay level, and for non-material damage, such as distress because of the undervaluation of work performed. Where appropriate, the compensation can take into account damage caused by pay discrimination based on sex that intersects with other protected grounds of discrimination. Member States should not fix a prior upper limit for such compensation.
