Gender pay transparency: A global guide to employer obligations

The June 2026 edition of our Gender pay transparency: A global guide to employer obligations is now available. Its publication is timely, with the deadline for EU Member State implementation of the Gender Pay Transparency Directive (Directive) now having passed.

The guide brings you right up-to-date, highlighting the latest implementation status of the Directive in each Member State, and providing details of the obligations which now apply in the countries which have met the deadline.

New for June 2026, our guide also covers Bulgaria, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania.

Our guide also goes beyond Europe, covering jurisdictions across Asia Pacific, Africa, the Americas, and the Middle East.

For each country, the guide highlights pay gap reporting requirements, as well as rules relating to pre-employment pay transparency and the rights of employees to be given pay information. You can also compare and contrast the information for multiple countries and create a tailored report.

Take a look at our video for a quick summary of how our guide can help you to understand your obligations. You can also request our overview of employers' global obligations by clicking here.
