Overview

Are You Prepared for the EU Pay Transparency Directive?

Everybody’s talking about the EU Pay Transparency Directive and for good reason. By 7 June 2026, it will fundamentally change how Irish employers handle pay, promotions, and gender pay reporting. So the question is: are you prepared?

The Directive introduces new obligations that every employer must meet. You’ll need to categorise employees performing the same or equivalent work, justify any pay differences objectively, provide information on request, and address any gender pay gaps over 5% within six months or risk mandatory joint assessments with employees’ representatives. Compliance isn’t just about avoiding fines. It’s about creating fairer, more transparent workplaces that attract and retain talent.

Join us for a half-day event where legal experts break down the Directive, explain the implications for Irish workplaces, and give you actionable steps to get ahead.

You’ll explore:

  • Clear explanations of employer obligations and what they mean in practice
  • Mapping roles and determining work of equal value fairly
  • Managing pay progression and performance decisions without risk
  • Industrial relations and consultation requirements you need to know
  • Lessons from real equal pay cases and how the Directive will reshape Irish law

Packed with legal expertise, case studies, and practical tools, this event is perfect for HR professionals, employment law advisers, remuneration managers, and anyone responsible for pay policies. You’ll leave confident in your ability to implement transparent pay practices by June 2026 and equipped to turn compliance into a competitive advantage.

Don’t wait, reserve your spot to ensure your organisation is ready for June 2026.

Full programme and speakers to be announced soon.
