What does each quartile segment mean?

A ‘quartile segment from the perspective of pay’ means each of the four equal groups into which employees are divided according to their pay levels, from the lowest to the highest. In simpler terms, a quartile segment means a group. The employer divides employees into four groups based on remuneration: for example, the first group includes employees in the lowest pay range, such as between EUR 1,000 and EUR 1,500, while the fourth group includes those in the highest range, for example between EUR 2,500 and EUR 3,000.
