Preparing for the EU’s Pay Transparency Directive and the CSRD Pay Equity Reporting

The new EU Pay Transparency Directive, effective by June 2026, will bring a new level of challenges to global employers. With the deadline approaching, it’s crucial for employers to understand the law and prepare for compliance.  

HR Policy Global’s new webinar will provide a member survey conducted by Mercer, actionable insights and strategies on pay disclosure in Europe and around the globe, and how to proactively work with the worker representatives.  

Our Discussion will cover: 

• Salary Disclosures: Employers must provide salary ranges during recruitment without asking for past salaries. 
• Employee Data Requests: Understand how to fulfill requests for pay data and employee rights notifications. 
• Gender Pay Gap Reporting and Action Plan: Requirements for annual reporting and actions if more than 5% gaps exist. 
• Worker Representatives: Worker representatives work with employers to conduct a joint pay assessment and create an action plan if a significant gap exists.  

Additionally, companies need to prepare for the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), requiring companies to disclose pay gap information and other data as part of their sustainability efforts. This includes transparency in areas like equal pay for equal work and gender diversity within organizations.
