Achieve Compliance with the EU Pay Transparency Directive with GAP IQ
GAP IQ is an innovative solution from Ius Laboris designed to revolutionise how organisations address their pay transparency obligations and simplify their path to compliance. This comprehensive, integrated, and centralised service provides you with everything you need to comply with the EU Pay Transparency Directive (PTD) without relying on multiple advisors or complicated reporting tools.
The issues posed by the EU Pay Transparency Directive
The PTD mandates that employers across the EU engage in gender pay gap reporting, ensuring transparency and equality. This requirement applies to employers with at least 100 employees, although some countries may impose this on smaller employers. Organisations with 250 or more employees must submit reports annually. Those with 100 to 249 employees need to report every three years.
Where gaps within any categories are greater than 5%, and these cannot be objectively justified, employers will have to carry out a joint pay assessments. This is a form of compulsory equal pay audit. It must be conducted jointly in consultation with employee representatives.
Why is it important now?
Do your gender pay gap analysis now
Conducting joint pay assessments will be expensive and require significant time and effort. It's crucial to avoid the necessity of these assessments. To achieve this, ensure that pay gaps within employee "categories" do not exceed 5%, or if they do, provide strong evidence of objective justification for the disparity. Now is the time to review any gaps, identify areas of concern, take steps to reduce them to below the 5% threshold, and establish the right policies and procedures to prevent future occurrences.
Don't wait until the directive is fully
implemented.
Each pay cycle is an opportunity to make meaningful
changes.
