The rules it covers
Before hiring (Art. 5)
Candidates must get the starting pay or pay range, and you may no longer ask about their pay history.
Right to information (Art. 7)
Employees can ask for their pay level and the average pay of colleagues doing equal work, by gender. You answer within two months.
Pay gap reporting (Art. 9)
From June 2027 for employers with 150+ staff, from 2031 for 100+. A gap of 5% or more that you cannot justify triggers a joint pay assessment.
Made for
