Gender pay transparency: Prohibition on pay secrecy clauses is now in force

At a glance

• The 'flexi-amendment' to the Labour Code came into force on 1 June 2025.
• One of the reforms introduced by the 'flexi-amendment' is an explicit prohibition on restricting an employee's handling of information about their salary.
• Confidentiality clauses, prohibiting disclosure of salary information, are no longer allowed.
• This reform partially implements Article 7 of the Gender Pay Transparency Directive (Directive).
• However, any further legislation to implement the majority of the Directive's obligations is not expected now until after the October 2025 elections.
