Latvia On Track For Timely Pay Transparency Directive Transposition – But With Notable Deviations

Latvia appears to be one of the EU Member States on track to transpose the EU Pay Transparency Directive by the 7 June 2026 deadline. That is notable given that several other Member States have announced delays or sought to reopen negotiations.

The Latvian government has now published the full draft text of its proposed law. While it broadly follows the structure and spirit of the Pay Transparency Directive, it includes several deviations. Although they are broadly nuances rather than fundamental changes, they are details that employers in Latvia need to understand.

Key takeaways for employers

Latvia has published its draft transposition of the EU Pay Transparency Directive, and it contains several important departures from the Pay Transparency Directive's baseline that employers operating in Latvia should be aware of now.
