flag The EU’s 2026 pay transparency law requires salary ranges in jobs, bans past pay questions, and mandates pay gap reporting.

flag The EU's pay transparency directive, effective June 2026, mandates salary ranges in job postings, bans questions about past pay, and requires companies to disclose pay data, including bonuses and benefits, in both annual and hourly terms. flag Employers must provide starting pay before interviews, allow employees to request pay info for similar roles, and report gender pay gaps annually (250+ employees) or every three years (100–249). flag Gaps over 5% trigger joint assessments with worker reps. flag Larger firms face fines and legal liability, with employers bearing the burden of proof in discrimination cases. flag Only 16% of EU employers are prepared, with readiness dropping to 2% for full compensation transparency, prompting urgent calls for action ahead of enforcement.
