Overview
The EU Pay Transparency Directive, adopted in 2023, contains far reaching new measures that propose to reduce the gender pay gap and enforce equal pay for equal work by increasing pay transparency in the workplace and improving access to information. The Directive establishes binding rules to ensure greater openness around pay structures and salary information within organisations. By mandating transparency in recruitment, pay reporting and employee rights to information, the Directive seeks to empower workers, enhance accountability among employers and ultimately foster fairer and more inclusive workplaces throughout the EU.
