How to prepare for the EU Pay Transparency Directive compliance
In this webcast, panelists discuss the steps multinational employers should take in 2025 to prepare for the directive.
The EU pay transparency webcast focuses on the principle of equal pay for “equal work” and “work of equal value.” The European Union’s Pay Transparency Directive, enacted in May 2023, obliges Member States to transpose the Directive into local law by 7 June 2026.
Our webcast offers perspectives from five key jurisdictions (Germany, France, Spain, UK and Sweden) regarding the potential challenges employers may face in complying with this directive.
The panel will offer a mix of legal interpretation, as well as general guidance for clients and contacts, targeting CHROs, general counsels, talent teams and HR data leads.
Topics discussed include:
- Overview of EU Pay Transparency Directive
- Understanding current state/legislation in key jurisdictions
- Implications for employers with EU/non-EU workforce
- Data and technology requirements
- Roadmap to compliance
