The Challenge
The EU Pay Transparency Directive is here
By June 7, 2026, every EU member state must transpose the directive into national law. Non-compliance means fines, burden-of-proof shifts, and employee compensation claims.
See how PayProof helpsSalary ranges in every job ad
You must publish salary ranges in all job vacancy notices before the interview process begins. No exceptions.
Annual pay gap reporting
Companies with 100+ employees must report gender pay gap data annually to the national authority, broken down by category.
5% gap = mandatory action
If the pay gap exceeds 5% in any job category and can't be objectively justified, a joint pay assessment with worker representatives is required.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
The EU Pay Transparency Directive (2023/970) aims to strengthen equal pay for men and women through pay transparency and enforcement mechanisms. It requires employers to provide salary ranges in job ads, allow employees to request pay information, and report on gender pay gaps.
EU member states must transpose the directive into national law by June 7, 2026. Companies with 250+ employees must start reporting in 2027, while smaller companies have later deadlines.
All employers in the EU are affected by the transparency requirements for job seekers. Reporting obligations apply to companies with 100+ employees, with phased timelines based on size.
Non-compliance can result in fines set by each member state. Additionally, the directive shifts the burden of proof to the employer in pay discrimination cases, and employees can claim compensation.
Most companies can complete the setup in under 10 minutes with our onboarding wizard. Upload your employee CSV, define your job grades, and you'll have your first pay gap analysis within minutes.
