Official statistics publish Gender Pay Gap (GPG) on the basis of Structure of Earnings Survey which is carried out in Poland every two years. Calculated values are presented by Eurostat in separate tables for six age classes, private and public ownership, for full and part timers and for economic activities used in statistical classification according to NACE Rev. 2. Gender Pay Gap calculated for such aggregations may be misleading and gives poor insight into possible salary discrimination. For instance in particular sections sexes may be polarized in different occupations. Aggregated GPG cannot also explain the influence of additional factors such as job experience and education level. As a result it is difficult to assess whether GPG is significant in the micro level. The paper analyzes the size of the GPG in enterprises  located in Poland. For this purpose a linear model is constructed for separate cases that allows to distinguish the influence of sex, occupation and education in individual companies on the earnings. That allows to explain the size of income discrepancies caused by external, objective factors and assess the magnitude of sex discrimination.
