Although the EU Pay Transparency Directive (Directive (EU) 2023/970) (the “Directive”) was adopted by the European Parliament and the Council of the European Union on 10 May 2023, and the deadline for its transposition into national law has already expired, its legal effects may nevertheless arise even in the absence of national implementing measures.

The draft law on salary transparency introduces new obligations for employers, including structured pay policies, reporting requirements and increased scrutiny of pay differences, with significant practical implications for the labour market.
