- The June 2025 edition of our Gender pay transparency: A global guide to employer obligations is now available, bringing you the latest information on developments in Europe and beyond.
- Our guide covers jurisdictions across Europe, Asia Pacific, Africa, the Americas and the Middle East.
At a time when material progress is now being made in Europe towards implementation of the Gender Pay Transparency Directive (Directive), and legislators in other corners of the world are also focussing their attention on pay transparency measures, our guide is an invaluable resource for all HR and legal professionals responsible for understanding, and meeting, global gender pay transparency obligations.
In Europe, the Directive brings with it new obligations include gender pay gap reporting requirements, and duties to provide employees with information about their pay level and average pay of those doing equal value work. In addition, there are requirements to provide salary information on job adverts or prior to interview. Poland, Finland, Sweden and the Netherlands have already made material strides forward in making legislative proposals for implementation. And while the UK is not required to implement the Directive, the government has published a call for evidence seeking views on introducing many similar provisions to the Directive.
Outside Europe, pay transparency on job postings continues to be a significant focus of many US states, while Australia is ramping up large employers' obligations to work towards gender equality targets. New Zealand has also published a toolkit to help employers address gender pay gaps.
Our guide enables you to compare and contrast pay transparency obligations for unlimited jurisdictions at a time and create your own bespoke report.
You can also access our regularly updated tracker of the latest EU Member State activity to monitor upcoming progress on the Directive.
