The EU Pay Transparency Directive requires every employer to disclose salary ranges and prove pay equity. Fairpay gives you the compensation benchmarks you need to comply — starting at $49.
EU Directive 2023/970 introduces three pillars of obligation. Every EU employer — regardless of size — must comply with salary transparency.
Employers must publish a pay range for every open role before the first interview. Candidates cannot be asked about salary history.
Workers can request average pay data by gender for their role. Pay secrecy clauses are banned. Employers must respond within two months.
Companies with 100+ employees must report mean and median gender pay gaps, plus pay distribution by quartile. First reports due June 2027.
Traditional compensation data costs $10,000–$30,000 per year. Fairpay makes compliance accessible to every business.
Our benchmark reports provide market-rate salary data by role, location, experience level, and company size — exactly what you need to set defensible pay ranges.
Compare your internal compensation against market benchmarks to identify and explain any pay gaps before they become compliance issues.
Use Fairpay data to demonstrate that pay variations reflect market conditions, not discrimination. Essential context for companies with 100+ employees.
Access compensation data across jurisdictions to navigate fragmented national implementations of the directive.
You shouldn't need a $30,000 budget to comply with pay transparency law. Fairpay is 50–600x cheaper than traditional providers.
Single role & location salary data. Perfect for posting one compliant job ad.
Multi-role analysis for pay equity review. Covers an entire department or team.
Unlimited access for ongoing compliance. Ideal for companies hiring across roles.
