Are you ready for the EU Pay Transparency Directive?
Starting in 2026, the European Pay Transparency Directive will reshape how companies hire, pay, and retain talent.
At My People Partners, we are your hands-on partner to navigate the legal, cultural, and operational changes – end to end.
Why is Pay Transparency business critical?
The Directive is not just about numbers on a payslip – it is a cultural shift in how organisations approach fairness and equality.
For businesses, it represents both a compliance obligation and a strategic opportunity.

OF COMPANIES ARE NOT READY FOR THE UPCOMING PAY TRANSPARENCY LAWS
Across Europe, approximately 3 in 4 companies are not prepared for the EU Pay Transparency Directive.
Even among those “in progress,” many lack sufficient understanding or readiness, especially in high-risk areas like reporting, pay audits, and remediation plans.
With full directive implementation due by June 2026, urgent action is needed to avoid compliance gaps, financial penalties, and reputational risks.
Pay Transparency is business critical due to
- Legal & Financial Exposure: Non-compliance can lead to heavy fines, litigation, and reputational harm.
- Reversal of Burden of Proof: In suspected cases of discrimination, employers must now prove they are compliant.
- Mandatory Pay Gap Audits & Reporting: Companies must report on gender pay gaps and disclose salary ranges in recruitment.
- Employer Brand at Risk: Transparency is a key factor for talent attraction and retention. Employees and candidates are watching.
The Directive applies to all EU member states. If you employ people in Europe, this affects you.
Starting now is the only way to ensure you’re ready when the law takes effect.
