Training day EU Pay Transparency Directive (EUPTD)

The EU Wage Transparency Directive obliges employers to increase transparency and demonstrate equal pay. Member states must transpose the directive into national law by 2026. In the Netherlands, this legislation is expected to take effect on January 1, 2027. This training course translates legislation and regulations into practical steps for your organization.

You will learn to:

• Translate legal obligations into policy and processes
• Strengthen your job structure and remuneration policy
• Develop a pay gap analysis and (Joint) Pay Assessment

After this day, you will know exactly where your organization stands and what it takes to become compliant.
