The EU’s new Pay Transparency Directive imposes new and expanded requirements on employers regarding transparency, information, and reporting of wages. The aim is to combat unjustified pay gaps and reinforce the principle of equal pay for equal work and work of equal value. In March 2026, the government will present the bill “Implementation of the Pay Transparency Directive, ” which outlines how the directive is proposed to be implemented into Swedish law. In this 45-minute webinar, you’ll receive an up-to-date and practical overview of both the requirements of the EU directive and the content of the government’s bill. The focus is on the specific obligations arising from the directive and the bill, the risks that may arise from non-compliance, and how you, as an employer, can begin preparing your organization to ensure compliance.
