Remedies Under The Pay Transparency Directive

Countries are moving forward with implementing the EU Pay Transparency Directive through proposals, draft bills and legislation. Below, we examine the approach of eight countries, focusing on how they're addressing the directive's remedy provisions.

While much attention has been directed to the directive's pay gap reporting requirements, equally important for employers are the provisions on remedies and enforcement. These include familiar enforcement mechanisms such as the right to compensation, as well as more striking provisions, such as the potential exclusion from public procurement for non-compliance. To explore how these remedy provisions are being implemented, we've gathered insights from eight countries that have either introduced detailed proposals, draft bills or enacted legislation to implement (often parts) of the directive.
