RoleMapper guide: A Roadmap to Prepare for the EU Pay Transparency Directive
On 7 June 2026, the EU Pay Transparency Directive will be introduced across the EU. It will mandate the adoption of pay transparency and, more specifically, transparency of foundational processes and reporting for any companies with employees in the EU.
The legislation forms part of a worldwide trend towards pay transparency, though the EU Directive is far more rigorous and carries far-reaching operational implications across both compensation and talent management processes than any legislation seen so far.
The Directive’s impact goes beyond reporting requirements and providing visibility of pay on job postings, it shines a light on an organisations’ pay and talent management practices – practices that are often disconnected and not always particularly robust.
This guide aims to get practical. It summarises the key requirements of the Directive, but more specifically unpacks the operational implications and recommendations for compensation and talent management.
