Pay transparency: what is going to change for job seekers, current workers and companies?
The EU Pay Transparency Directive (2023/970) introduces new rules to strengthen pay transparency and combat unjustified gender wage gaps. Job seekers will have the right to know the starting salary or pay range before contract negotiation, and companies are barred from asking about past salaries. Current employees gain the right to request aggregated information on average pay levels broken down by sex for workers performing equal work, along with objective criteria used for pay and career progression.
Why it matters
If you are looking for work or currently employed in Portugal, these upcoming rules give you the right to know pay ranges during recruitment and to request information on average wages and objective pay criteria from your employer.SIC NotíciasRead original ↗
