Czech Republic and Slovakia Implement EU Pay Transparency Directive with Different Approaches
The Czech Republic and Slovakia are preparing to implement the EU Pay Transparency Directive, with Slovakia taking a more proactive approach than its neighbor. Slovakia has already introduced a draft law focused on equal pay for men and women, which includes detailed requirements for salary transparency in job advertisements and during employment. The Czech Republic, on the other hand, is pursuing a minimalist approach, aiming to meet EU requirements with minimal burden on employers. The Czech draft legislation is expected to take effect in 2027, with phased reporting requirements extending to 2031.
