Organise pay data, role criteria, recruitment language and communication before changing policy.
Inventory the current system
Gather pay components, job architecture, progression criteria, recruitment materials and reporting data. Identify who owns each decision.
Test the explanation
Can a recruiter explain a hiring range? Can a manager describe progression? Can HR reproduce the data behind a report? Resolve gaps before publishing broad claims.
Check the applicable law
The EU Directive sets a framework, but national measures and other local laws determine detailed duties. Review each jurisdiction with qualified advisers where necessary.
Use this as a starting point
Requirements and practices differ by jurisdiction and organisation. Check current local law, official guidance and professional advice for a specific situation.
