Here is the honest situation. The EU Pay Transparency Directive strengthens equal pay for equal work and work of equal value through transparency. It requires disclosing pay to job applicants and not asking about pay history, gender-neutral pay criteria, workers' right to pay information, an end to pay secrecy, gender pay gap reporting on prescribed metrics, a joint pay assessment when a significant gap is unexplained, remedies with a reversed burden of proof, and protection against retaliation. Building that and evidencing it to a monitoring body is real work, and an employer that still asks about salary history or cannot explain its pay gap is exactly where employers fall short.
This Kit removes the guesswork. It is every obligation written as an adopt-ready control you personalize in a weekend, with the evidence a monitoring body examines.
What you get, the moment you buy
Grounded in the EU Pay Transparency Directive (Directive (EU) 2023/970) as transposed, with the pre-employment pay disclosure and pay-history prohibition, the gender-neutral pay criteria, the worker information right, the gender pay gap reporting metrics, the joint pay assessment and the remedies and reversed burden of proof called out. Editable Word and Excel files.
What one control looks like
This is confirming scope and how the Directive is transposed, where compliance begins. All 18 are built to this depth.
Why this is not another template pack
- The evidence is the point. A pay decision you cannot justify is exposure, with the burden on you. This tells you what a monitoring body examines and where employers fall short, for every obligation.
- Disclosure, reporting and assessment built in. The pre-employment disclosure, the gender pay gap reporting and the joint pay assessment are written into the controls, the substance the Directive requires.
- Built on a mapped compliance corpus, not one person's opinion, from a graph of thousands of controls across standards.
- It compounds. Pay transparency connects to your equal pay, HR and governance obligations, so this work feeds your wider employment compliance.
Who buys this
Employers operating in the EU, and the HR, reward, legal and compliance leads who own pay equality. Whether it is a first assessment or a reporting cycle, you save weeks and walk in with the disclosure, reporting and criteria structured.
Common questions
Is it really editable? Yes. Word and Excel files you own and adapt. No portal, no subscription.
Is this legal advice? No. It is an implementation toolkit grounded in the Directive as transposed. For a specific matter consult counsel; this gets your controls and records in order fast.
Does it cover the pay-history ban? Yes. Not asking applicants about their pay history is built as a control, alongside pre-employment pay disclosure.
Does it cover the gender pay gap report? Yes. Calculating the prescribed metrics and reporting on the required cadence are built as controls.
