EU
The EU Pay Transparency Directive sets new requirements aimed at removing gender-based pay discrimination. This 45-minute course explains its purpose, the rights it gives employees and the duties it places on employers, covering gender-neutral criteria in recruitment, pay and progression, and how to answer questions about pay ranges.
The Directive shifts the burden of proof onto the employer, so a pay decision now has to be defensible on the record rather than in recollection. Pay secrecy clauses stop being enforceable, and candidates gain a right to salary information before interview. Managers create most of that exposure in ordinary conversations, which is where the training has to land.
