Episode Details

The EU Pay Transparency Directive becomes enforceable law on June 7, 2026 — that's five days from now. And it's not just a European problem: if you employ anyone in the EU, it applies to you, whether your HQ is in Berlin, New York, or Singapore. In this episode, we break down the seven concrete obligations every employer must meet, why "competitive salary" in job postings is now illegal, and how AI compensation tools can help you get compliant before the clock runs out. We also look at the 5% rule — the threshold that triggers a mandatory joint pay assessment — and why you want to catch that gap in your own data before regulators do.
