In this in-depth report, our international employment experts Pieter DeKoster and Cecilia Lahaye offer a critical analysis of the European Union’s Pay Transparency Directive 2023/970 (‘the Directive’) which focuses on ‘strengthen the application of the principle of equal pay for equal work or work of equal value between men and women through pay transparency and enforcement mechanisms’. The Directive marks the cornerstone of gender equality in the workplace, a major component of EU social policy and indeed one of the core values of the European Union.
The report provides a comprehensive look at key aspects of the Directive, compared to the current regulatory framework in 17 EU jurisdictions. Based on a survey of the key features of such national laws, the report focuses on its potential impact in and across EU countries, including enforcement mechanisms; pay transparency principles; remedies and enforcement.
