How to define equal work and justify pay gaps for EU Pay Transparency Directive compliance

The EU Pay Transparency Directive isn't just about reporting – it's fundamentally reshaping how companies structure, evaluate, and justify compensation decisions across Europe.

In our upcoming Reward Hour, Vaso Parisinou and Anita Lettink will be exploring where companies currently stand in their EUPTD journey, revealing critical readiness gaps by country, company size, and industry.

They'll share practical insights on tackling one of the directive's most complex challenges: defining and evaluating "work of equal value in practice, and building the foundational structures that make transparent, defensible pay decisions possible.

The discussion will include: 

• Where companies are in their EUPTD journey and readiness gaps by country, size, and industry
• How to define and evaluate "work of equal value" beyond function groupings and market benchmarks
• What foundational structures you need and when structural issues require fixing first
• What counts as objective justification for pay differences across base pay, variable, and bonuses

As always, there will be plenty of opportunity to ask questions, share experiences, and learn from fellow Reward leaders navigating EUPTD compliance.
