The 5 Obligations — Are You Compliant?
⚠ If any box is unticked — your legal exposure is live today.
EU Directive 2023/970 came into force on 7 June 2026. Every employer in the European Union must now publish salary ranges in job adverts, remove pay secrecy clauses from contracts, and provide employees with documented pay criteria. These obligations apply from day one — to every company, regardless of headcount, and regardless of whether your member state has finished transposing the Directive into national law.
The reporting deadlines are phased. The obligations that carry legal risk today are not.
If the gender pay gap within any group of employees doing work of equal value exceeds 5% and cannot be justified with documented, objective evidence, a Joint Pay Assessment becomes mandatory. That is a formal, published process involving employee representatives and the national equality body — with uncapped back-pay liability and the burden of proof shifted entirely to the employer.
The companies most exposed are the ones who believe they are compliant — without having built what the law actually requires.
Three situations. One underlying problem: the law requires four documents most SMEs have not built.
The Directive has landed on your desk alongside everything else you are managing. You need a structured, legally grounded toolkit you can implement without hiring a consultant. And you need to know it is right.
You understand the Directive. What you do not have is the job evaluation framework and salary band structure the law requires — and the confidence that what you produce will hold up. You need expert guidance, not another compliance guide.
The term sheet has an ESG condition. The board wants a certified audit. You have a gap figure but no documented methodology behind it. The Paygrit Certified™ seal is the deliverable your investors are asking for.

You get the five-tab Excel model that produces all four documents the Directive requires — job evaluation, salary bands, gap analysis, and board-ready audit report template. Every formula pre-built.

I didn't learn about pay equity from a textbook. I learned it in the most unequal country on Earth.
I am South African. My career in compensation was built inside the B-BBEE and Employment Equity frameworks — environments where fairness in pay is a legal mandate, not an aspiration, and where the employer's burden of proof is already high.
Twenty years of hands-on compensation work across financial services, mining, energy, and manufacturing gave me a clear view of what fair pay looks like in practice — and what it takes to build it properly.
I founded Paygrit to bring that experience to EU SMEs, and make pay transparency compliance something a growing company can genuinely achieve.
If you can build a fair pay structure in the most unequal country in the world, you can build one anywhere.
Twenty years of that work — across these organisations:
