A Guide to the EU Pay Transparency Directive 2025

The guide has been updated as of June 2025.

The EU Pay Transparency Directive will be a reality in less than a year. By June 2026, European organizations need to make sure they're compliant.

The Directive is driving major shifts in how companies communicate about pay, report on pay equity, and ensure fairness across their workforce. As member states finalize their national transposition, employers across the EU are preparing for new reporting obligations and greater transparency expectations. Now is the time to get ready!

Our new and updated eGuide helps companies learn about the requirements and start preparing. This resource will help readers understand:

  • What are the pay transparency requirements.

  • Key points to consider when you prepare.

  • What are the pay equity reporting requirements.

  • What happens if your company has a pay gap.

About this material

Employers in the EU should prepare to take action in two areas. First, they’ll need to provide more information about pay, and the criteria used to determine pay, to current employees and job applicants. Then, they’ll need to measure and publish the pay gap between male and female workers (adjusted for objective factors). Those with a gap over a certain size will need to take action.

The EU Directive will drive change in how companies talk about pay internally and externally, and some companies may even need to adjust their pay structures. PayAnalytics by beqom exists to help support companies of all sizes work towards pay equity, so we’ve written a short, free eGuide to help businesses start to understand and prepare for the EU Directive.
