New EU rules aim to make salaries fairer and hiring more transparent

New EU Rules for Fairer Salaries and Transparent Hiring

The European workplace is set for a major change next summer as new EU rules on pay transparency come into force.

These rules require companies to reveal salary details in job adverts and ban questions about candidates’ pay history.

Under the directive, adopted in 2023, employers will have to inform job applicants about the starting salary or pay range before interviews take place and share any relevant details from collective agreements.

Employees will also gain the right to request information on average pay levels for colleagues performing similar work, according to the Council of the European Union.
