Why employers need this

EU Directive 2023/970 on pay transparency, and the national rules that implement it, set new duties for employers. They cover how pay is shown to job applicants, how pay ranges are set using objective, gender-neutral criteria, and how employees can ask about pay. The kit gives you ready-made documents for these tasks, so you can prepare without starting from a blank page.
