Webinar replay: Equal pay legislation in practice
The topic of equal pay is moving into the spotlight in 2026. This is driven not only by the transposition of the EU Pay Transparency Directive, but also by employees’ growing expectations regarding fairness and open communication.
The new legislative framework, however, brings companies more than just new obligations. It also represents an opportunity to improve internal processes, build trust, and strengthen competitiveness in the labour market.
During the webinar, we explored how to approach these changes in a practical way that benefits your organisation and supports both growth and company culture.
The content is designed for C‑level executives and HR leaders who want to understand the legislative requirements and gain concrete recommendations for next steps.

The anticipated shift in the area of equal pay is becoming a reality in Slovakia. The publication of the approved wording of the Equal Pay Act represents another step towards greater fairness and transparency in remuneration and builds on legislative changes rooted in the European context.
From compliance to confidence, companies are rethinking equal pay to build a more transparent and trustworthy workplace.
Based on the views of more than 1,000 payroll, HR and finance leaders from 13 markets, the 'Compliance, accuracy and visibility: the 3 non-negotiables in modern European payroll' report reveals how payroll has evolved from a transactional necessity into a strategic pillar of organisational trust, data governance and people experience.
In 2023, the European Union adopted Directive (EU) 2023/970 on Pay Transparency, introducing major changes to strengthen the principle of equal pay for equal work or work of equal value between women and men. Member States must transpose this Directive into national legislation by 2026, and its implementation will require employers to make substantial adjustments.
