PTD-Art.6: Transparency of pay setting and pay progression policy
Employers shall make easily accessible to workers the criteria used to determine pay, pay levels and pay progression, and those criteria shall be objective and gender-neutral (employers with fewer than 50 workers may be exempt from the pay-progression criteria requirement).
Our statement of the clause of Directive (EU) 2023/970 on pay transparency, held and verified: cite it as PTD-Art.6. The instrument verbatim is not quoted here; the held framework carries the reading.
The evidence this duty asks you to hold
Documented, accessible objective and gender-neutral pay-setting and pay-progression criteria
What usually goes missing
No published pay-setting/progression criteria; Criteria that are not gender-neutral
Where this lands in an audit
