EU Pay Transparency Deadline Passes With Most States Not Ready
The 7 June 2026 deadline to write the Pay Transparency Directive into national law passed with only Italy, Slovakia and Malta (and, by some counts, Lithuania) done; the Netherlands, Sweden, Czechia and Denmark said they would apply it from 1 January 2027.
- Member states had until 7 June 2026 to transpose the Pay Transparency Directive into national law[1][5]
- Slovakia, Malta and Italy adopted comprehensive laws in time, while Lithuania, Poland and Czechia had only partly transposed it, in Littler's count[1]
- Morgan Lewis and Lewis Silkin count four on time: Italy, Lithuania, Malta and Slovakia, with Malta publishing its regulations on the evening of 5 June[2][3]
- The Netherlands, Sweden, Czechia and Denmark confirmed a delayed start of 1 January 2027, and Germany and Austria had not published implementing bills[1][3]
- The Commission had said on 18 December 2025 that it expected every member state to meet the deadline, and it can open infringement proceedings against those that miss it[1][4]
- Greece transposed the directive on 6 July 2026, with its main obligations from 1 November 2026[2]
