EU Pay Transparency Directive: How to Prepare — Now
The clock is ticking for global companies: the EU's groundbreaking EU Directive on Equal Pay and Transparency demands unprecedented transparency in pay and career progression. With mandates to disclose pay scales on job postings, report pay gaps, and communicate openly about pay and career progression, the time for companies to act is now.
Though the first report isn’t due until 7 June, 2027, it’s based on pay data from 2026 — meaning you have just two annual compensation cycles to correct issues before they are baked into your public pay reporting. Many other components of the Directive, including pay scale transparency and right to information, are likely to kick in before the due date
Need a plan? Syndio simplifies compliance. Syndio’s experts and leading Workplace Equity Analytics Platform can help you straighten out your data, flag inequities, and incrementally close gaps so your first report can tell a proactive story of progress.
