New Zealand's amended Equal Pay Act requires the current pay-equity claim eligibility and response process. Before a claim proceeds to pay-equity assessment, the employer must determine whether it meets the circumstances and requirements and has merit. Merit requires work performed by a workforce that has been at least 70% female over the past ten consecutive years, and reasonable grounds to believe the work was historically undervalued and remains subject to systemic sex-based undervaluation. Acknowledge receipt within five working days; decide within 60 working days, with a reasoned limited extension where allowed.

The first Directive reporting date is 7 June 2027 for employers with at least 150 workers; the first 100-149 worker date is 7 June 2031, subject to national implementation.

Novelizovaný novozélandský Equal Pay Act upravuje aktuálne podmienky nároku na rovnosť odmeňovania a postup reakcie naň. Pred posúdením rovnosti odmeňovania musí zamestnávateľ rozhodnúť, či nárok spĺňa príslušné okolnosti a podmienky a či je dôvodný. Dôvodnosť vyžaduje, aby ženy tvorili najmenej 70 % pracovnej sily vykonávajúcej danú prácu počas posledných desiatich po sebe idúcich rokov, a aby existovali primerané dôvody domnievať sa, že táto práca bola historicky podhodnotená a naďalej je systémovo podhodnocovaná na základe pohlavia. Prijatie nároku potvrďte do piatich pracovných dní; rozhodnite do 60 pracovných dní, s odôvodneným obmedzeným predĺžením, ak ho podmienky pripúšťajú.

Der geänderte neuseeländische Equal Pay Act schreibt das aktuelle Verfahren zur Prüfung der Zulässigkeit von Ansprüchen auf Entgeltgleichheit und zur Reaktion darauf vor. Bevor ein Anspruch zur Prüfung der Entgeltgleichheit weitergeführt wird, muss der Arbeitgeber feststellen, ob die maßgeblichen Umstände vorliegen, die Anforderungen erfüllt sind und der Anspruch begründet ist. Für die Begründetheit muss die Arbeit von einer Belegschaft ausgeübt worden sein, die während der letzten zehn aufeinanderfolgenden Jahre zu mindestens 70% aus Frauen bestand; außerdem müssen vernünftige Gründe für die Annahme bestehen, dass die Arbeit historisch unterbewertet war und weiterhin einer systemischen geschlechtsbedingten Unterbewertung unterliegt. Bestätigen Sie den Eingang innerhalb von fünf Arbeitstagen; entscheiden Sie innerhalb von 60 Arbeitstagen, mit einer begründeten, begrenzten Verlängerung, soweit diese zulässig ist.
Das erste Berichterstattungsdatum der Richtlinie ist 7 Juni 2027 für Arbeitgeber mit mindestens 150 Arbeitnehmern; Das erste 100 - 149 Worker-Datum ist 7 Juni 2031 , vorbehaltlich der nationalen Implementierung.

L’Equal Pay Act de Nouvelle-Zélande, tel que modifié, impose l’application des critères actuels de recevabilité des demandes d’équité salariale et de la procédure de réponse. Avant qu’une demande ne passe à l’évaluation de l’équité salariale, l’employeur doit déterminer si elle relève des circonstances prévues, satisfait aux exigences applicables et est fondée. Son bien-fondé exige que le travail soit effectué par une main-d’œuvre qui a compté au moins 70% de femmes tout au long des dix dernières années consécutives, et qu’il existe des motifs raisonnables de croire que ce travail a été historiquement sous-évalué et demeure soumis à une sous-évaluation systémique fondée sur le sexe.

La ley neozelandesa Equal Pay Act, en su versión modificada, exige aplicar los criterios actuales de admisibilidad de las reclamaciones de equidad salarial y el procedimiento de respuesta. Antes de que una reclamación pase a la evaluación de la equidad salarial, el empleador debe determinar si concurren las circunstancias aplicables, si se cumplen los requisitos y si la reclamación tiene fundamento. Para que tenga fundamento, debe referirse a trabajo realizado por una plantilla que haya estado integrada por al menos un 70% de mujeres durante los últimos diez años consecutivos, y deben existir motivos razonables para creer que ese trabajo estuvo históricamente infravalorado y sigue sujeto a una infravaloración sistémica por razón de sexo. Confirme la recepción en un plazo de cinco días hábiles; decida en un plazo de 60 días hábiles, con una prórroga limitada y motivada únicamente cuando esté permitida.

Antes de um pedido avançar para a avaliação da equidade remuneratória, o empregador deve determinar se se verificam as circunstâncias aplicáveis, se estão cumpridos os requisitos e se o pedido tem fundamento. Para ter fundamento, o pedido deve dizer respeito a trabalho realizado por uma força de trabalho que tenha sido composta por pelo menos 70% de mulheres ao longo dos últimos dez anos consecutivos, e devem existir motivos razoáveis para acreditar que esse trabalho foi historicamente subvalorizado e continua sujeito a subvalorização sistémica baseada no sexo.

De gewijzigde Nieuw-Zeelandse Equal Pay Act schrijft de huidige procedure voor de ontvankelijkheid van claims over loongelijkheid en de reactie daarop voor. Voordat een claim doorgaat naar de beoordeling van loongelijkheid, moet de werkgever vaststellen of deze aan de omstandigheden en vereisten voldoet en gegrond is. Gegrondheid vereist dat het werk wordt verricht door een personeelsgroep die gedurende de afgelopen tien opeenvolgende jaren voor minstens 70% uit vrouwen heeft bestaan, en dat er redelijke gronden zijn om aan te nemen dat het werk in het verleden werd ondergewaardeerd en nog steeds onderhevig is aan systemische onderwaardering op grond van geslacht. Bevestig de ontvangst binnen vijf werkdagen; beslis binnen 60 werkdagen, met een gemotiveerde, beperkte verlenging waar die is toegestaan.
De eerste rapportagedatum van de richtlijn is 7 juni 2027 voor werkgevers met ten minste 150 -werknemers; de eerste 100 - 149 werkdatum is 7 Juni 2031 , onder voorbehoud van nationale implementatie.

Novelizovaný novozélandský Equal Pay Act stanoví aktuální podmínky pro uplatnění nároku na rovné odměňování a postup reakce na něj. Než nárok postoupí k posouzení rovného odměňování, musí zaměstnavatel určit, zda jsou splněny příslušné okolnosti a požadavky a zda je nárok opodstatněný. Opodstatněnost vyžaduje, aby danou práci vykonávala pracovní síla, kterou během posledních deseti po sobě jdoucích let tvořily nejméně ze 70% ženy, a aby existovaly rozumné důvody domnívat se, že práce byla v minulosti podhodnocena a nadále podléhá systémovému podhodnocování na základě pohlaví.

Új-Zéland módosított Equal Pay Act törvénye előírja a béregyenlőségi igények jogosultsági feltételeinek és az azokra adott válasznak a jelenlegi eljárását. Mielőtt az igény béregyenlőségi értékelésre kerül, a munkáltatónak meg kell állapítania, hogy fennállnak-e a megfelelő körülmények, teljesülnek-e a követelmények, és az igény megalapozott-e. A megalapozottsághoz az szükséges, hogy a munkát olyan munkavállalói csoport végezze, amely az elmúlt tíz egymást követő évben legalább 70%-ban nőkből állt, és észszerű indokok legyenek annak feltételezésére, hogy a munkát történelmileg alulértékelték, és továbbra is nemi alapú, rendszerszintű alulértékelésnek van kitéve. Az átvételt öt munkanapon belül igazolják vissza; a döntést 60 munkanapon belül hozzák meg, indokolt, korlátozott hosszabbítással, ahol ez megengedett.

Legea modificată Equal Pay Act din Noua Zeelandă impune procedura actuală privind eligibilitatea cererilor de echitate salarială și răspunsul la acestea. Înainte ca o cerere să treacă la evaluarea echității salariale, angajatorul trebuie să stabilească dacă aceasta se încadrează în circumstanțele prevăzute, îndeplinește cerințele și este întemeiată. Temeinicia presupune ca munca să fie prestată de o forță de muncă formată în proporție de cel puțin 70% din femei pe parcursul ultimilor zece ani consecutivi și să existe motive rezonabile pentru a considera că munca a fost subevaluată în trecut și continuă să fie supusă unei subevaluări sistemice bazate pe sex.

Измененият новозеландски Equal Pay Act изисква прилагането на актуалната процедура за допустимост на исканията за равнопоставено заплащане и за отговор на тях. Преди искането да премине към оценка на равнопоставеността в заплащането, работодателят трябва да установи дали са налице съответните обстоятелства, дали са изпълнени изискванията и дали искането е основателно. Основателността изисква работата да се извършва от работна сила, в която жените са били най-малко 70% през последните десет последователни години, и да има разумни основания да се смята, че работата е била подценявана в миналото и продължава да е обект на системно подценяване въз основа на пола. Потвърдете получаването в рамките на пет работни дни; вземете решение в рамките на 60 работни дни, с мотивирано ограничено удължаване, когато то е позволено.

Izmijenjeni novozelandski Equal Pay Act zahtijeva primjenu aktualnih uvjeta prihvatljivosti zahtjeva za ravnopravnost plaća i postupka odgovora. Prije nego što zahtjev prijeđe na procjenu ravnopravnosti plaća, poslodavac mora utvrditi postoje li primjenjive okolnosti, jesu li ispunjeni uvjeti te je li zahtjev osnovan. Osnovanost zahtijeva da se radi o poslu koji obavlja radna snaga u kojoj su žene činile najmanje 70% tijekom posljednjih deset uzastopnih godina te da postoje razumni razlozi za uvjerenje da je taj rad bio povijesno podcijenjen i da je i dalje podložan sustavnom podcjenjivanju na temelju spola.

Spremenjeni novozelandski Equal Pay Act zahteva uporabo sedanjih meril dopustnosti zahtevkov za pravično plačilo in postopka odziva nanje. Preden zahtevek preide v presojo pravičnosti plačila, mora delodajalec ugotoviti, ali so podane ustrezne okoliščine, ali so izpolnjeni pogoji in ali je zahtevek utemeljen. Za utemeljenost je potrebno, da delo opravlja delovna sila, v kateri so ženske v zadnjih desetih zaporednih letih predstavljale najmanj 70%, in da obstajajo razumni razlogi za prepričanje, da je bilo to delo v preteklosti podcenjeno in je še vedno podvrženo sistemskemu podcenjevanju na podlagi spola. Prejem potrdite v petih delovnih dneh; odločite v 60 delovnih dneh, z obrazloženim in omejenim podaljšanjem le, kadar je dovoljeno.

New Zealands ændrede Equal Pay Act kræver den gældende proces for vurdering af, om ligelønskrav er berettigede, og for svar på dem. Før et krav går videre til en ligelønsvurdering, skal arbejdsgiveren afgøre, om de relevante omstændigheder foreligger, kravene er opfyldt, og kravet er begrundet. Et begrundet krav forudsætter, at arbejdet udføres af en arbejdsstyrke, som har bestået af mindst 70% kvinder i de seneste ti sammenhængende år, og at der er rimelige grunde til at antage, at arbejdet historisk har været undervurderet og fortsat er udsat for systemisk kønsbaseret undervurdering. Bekræft modtagelsen inden for fem arbejdsdage; træf afgørelse inden for 60 arbejdsdage med en begrundet, begrænset forlængelse, hvor det er tilladt.

Nya Zeelands ändrade Equal Pay Act föreskriver den nuvarande processen för att pröva om krav på lönejämlikhet är berättigade och för att svara på dem. Innan ett krav går vidare till en bedömning av lönejämlikhet måste arbetsgivaren avgöra om de relevanta omständigheterna föreligger, kraven är uppfyllda och anspråket är välgrundat. För att vara välgrundat krävs att arbetet utförs av en arbetsstyrka som har bestått av minst 70% kvinnor under de senaste tio på varandra följande åren, och att det finns rimliga skäl att anta att arbetet historiskt har undervärderats och fortfarande utsätts för systemisk könsbaserad undervärdering. Bekräfta mottagandet inom fem arbetsdagar; fatta beslut inom 60 arbetsdagar, med en motiverad, begränsad förlängning där sådan är tillåten.

Perusteltuus edellyttää, että työtä tekee henkilöstö, josta vähintään 70% on ollut naisia viimeisten kymmenen peräkkäisen vuoden ajan, ja että on kohtuulliset perusteet uskoa, että työtä on historiallisesti aliarvostettu ja siihen kohdistuu yhä järjestelmätason sukupuoleen perustuvaa aliarvostusta.

Uus-Meremaa muudetud Equal Pay Act nõuab praeguse palgavõrdsuse nõude lubatavuse ja sellele vastamise menetluse järgimist. Enne kui nõue liigub palgavõrdsuse hindamisse, peab tööandja otsustama, kas asjakohased asjaolud esinevad, nõuded on täidetud ja nõue on põhjendatud. Põhjendatus eeldab, et tööd teeb tööjõud, kellest vähemalt 70% on olnud naised viimase kümne järjestikuse aasta jooksul, ning et on mõistlik alus arvata, et tööd on ajalooliselt alahinnatud ja see on endiselt süsteemse soopõhise alahindamise objekt.

L-Equal Pay Act emendat ta’ New Zealand jeħtieġ l-applikazzjoni tal-kriterji attwali ta’ eliġibbiltà għal talbiet ta’ ekwità fil-pagi u tal-proċess ta’ risposta. Qabel ma talba tgħaddi għall-valutazzjoni tal-ekwità fil-pagi, min iħaddem irid jiddetermina jekk japplikawx iċ-ċirkostanzi rilevanti, jekk humiex sodisfatti r-rekwiżiti u jekk it-talba għandhiex mertu. Biex ikollha mertu, it-talba trid tikkonċerna xogħol imwettaq minn forza tax-xogħol li kienet magħmula minn mill-inqas 70% nisa matul l-aħħar għaxar snin konsekuttivi, u jrid ikun hemm raġunijiet raġonevoli biex wieħed jemmen li x-xogħol kien storikament sottovalutat u għadu suġġett għal sottovalutazzjoni sistemika bbażata fuq is-sess. Ikkonferma l-wasla tat-talba fi żmien ħamest ijiem tax-xogħol; ħu deċiżjoni fi żmien 60 jum tax-xogħol, b’estensjoni limitata u motivata biss fejn tkun permessa.

ينظّم قانون المساواة في الأجر المعدّل في نيوزيلندا شروط الأهلية الحالية للمطالبة بالإنصاف في الأجر وإجراءات الرد عليها. وقبل انتقال المطالبة إلى تقييم الإنصاف في الأجر، يجب على صاحب العمل أن يحدد ما إذا كانت تستوفي الظروف والمتطلبات ذات الصلة وتستند إلى أساس موضوعي. ويستلزم وجود أساس موضوعي للمطالبة أن يكون العمل مؤدّى بقوة عاملة ظلت نسبة النساء فيها 70% على الأقل طوال السنوات العشر الماضية المتتالية، وأن توجد أسباب معقولة للاعتقاد بأن العمل تعرض تاريخيًا لتقليل قيمته وما زال يخضع لتقليل منهجي لقيمته على أساس الجنس. أكّد استلام المطالبة خلال خمسة أيام عمل؛ واتخذ قرارًا خلال 60 يوم عمل، مع تمديد محدود ومسبّب فقط حيث يكون ذلك مسموحًا به.

Undang-Undang Kesetaraan Upah Selandia Baru yang telah diubah mengatur persyaratan kelayakan klaim kesetaraan pengupahan dan prosedur tanggapan yang berlaku saat ini. Sebelum klaim dilanjutkan ke penilaian kesetaraan pengupahan, pemberi kerja harus menentukan apakah klaim tersebut memenuhi keadaan dan persyaratan yang relevan serta memiliki dasar yang beralasan. Dasar yang beralasan mensyaratkan pekerjaan yang dilakukan oleh tenaga kerja dengan proporsi perempuan sekurang-kurangnya 70% selama sepuluh tahun terakhir secara berturut-turut, serta alasan yang masuk akal untuk meyakini bahwa pekerjaan tersebut secara historis dinilai terlalu rendah dan masih mengalami penilaian terlalu rendah secara sistemik berdasarkan jenis kelamin.

Yeni Zelanda’nın değiştirilmiş Eşit Ücret Yasası, ücret eşitliği talebinin güncel uygunluk koşullarını ve yanıt sürecini düzenler. Talep ücret eşitliği değerlendirmesine geçmeden önce işveren, ilgili koşulları ve gereklilikleri karşılayıp karşılamadığını ve esas bakımından dayanağı olup olmadığını belirlemelidir. Böyle bir dayanak için, işi yapan işgücündeki kadın oranının son on ardışık yıl boyunca en az % 70 düzeyinde kalmış olması ve işe tarihsel olarak düşük değer biçildiğine, ayrıca işin hâlen cinsiyete dayalı sistemik düşük değerlemeye tabi olduğuna inanmak için makul gerekçeler bulunması gerekir.

L’Equal Pay Act neozelandese, come modificato, richiede l’applicazione degli attuali criteri di ammissibilità delle richieste di equità retributiva e della procedura di risposta. Prima che una richiesta passi alla valutazione dell’equità retributiva, il datore di lavoro deve stabilire se ricorrono le circostanze previste, se sono soddisfatti i requisiti e se la richiesta è fondata. La fondatezza richiede che il lavoro sia svolto da una forza lavoro composta per almeno il 70% da donne durante gli ultimi dieci anni consecutivi e che vi siano ragionevoli motivi per ritenere che quel lavoro sia stato storicamente sottovalutato e continui a essere soggetto a una sottovalutazione sistemica basata sul sesso. Confermate la ricezione entro cinque giorni lavorativi; decidete entro 60 giorni lavorativi, con una proroga limitata e motivata soltanto ove consentita.

Prieš pradedant teisingo darbo užmokesčio vertinimą, darbdavys turi nustatyti, ar yra numatytos aplinkybės, ar tenkinamos sąlygos ir ar reikalavimas pagrįstas. Kad reikalavimas būtų pagrįstas, jis turi būti susijęs su darbu, kurį atlieka darbuotojų grupė, kurioje per visus pastaruosius dešimt metų iš eilės moterys sudarė ne mažiau kaip 70%, ir turi būti pagrįstų priežasčių manyti, kad šis darbas istoriškai buvo nuvertintas ir tebėra sistemiškai nuvertinamas dėl lyties. Patvirtinkite reikalavimo gavimą per penkias darbo dienas; priimkite sprendimą per 60 darbo dienų, terminą ribotai ir motyvuotai pratęsdami tik tais atvejais, kai tai leidžiama.

Zmieniona nowozelandzka ustawa Equal Pay Act wymaga stosowania aktualnych kryteriów dopuszczalności roszczeń dotyczących równości wynagrodzeń oraz procedury odpowiedzi. Zanim roszczenie przejdzie do oceny równości wynagrodzeń, pracodawca musi ustalić, czy zachodzą wymagane okoliczności, czy spełnione są warunki i czy roszczenie jest zasadne. Zasadność wymaga, aby chodziło o pracę wykonywaną przez grupę pracowników, w której kobiety stanowiły co najmniej 70% przez ostatnie dziesięć kolejnych lat, oraz aby istniały uzasadnione podstawy do przekonania, że praca ta była historycznie niedowartościowana i nadal podlega systemowemu niedowartościowaniu ze względu na płeć. Potwierdź otrzymanie roszczenia w ciągu pięciu dni roboczych; podejmij decyzję w ciągu 60 dni roboczych, z ograniczonym i uzasadnionym przedłużeniem wyłącznie tam, gdzie jest ono dozwolone.

Закон Новой Зеландии о равной оплате труда с внесёнными изменениями устанавливает действующие условия допустимости требования о справедливой оплате труда и порядок ответа на него. Прежде чем требование перейдёт к оценке справедливости оплаты труда, работодатель должен определить, соответствует ли оно предусмотренным обстоятельствам и требованиям и является ли обоснованным. Для обоснованности необходимо, чтобы работу выполнял коллектив, в котором на протяжении последних десяти последовательных лет женщины составляли не менее 70% работников, и чтобы имелись разумные основания полагать, что эта работа исторически недооценивалась и по-прежнему подвергается системной недооценке по признаку пола. Подтвердите получение требования в течение пяти рабочих дней; примите решение в течение 60 рабочих дней. Только в разрешённых случаях возможно ограниченное и мотивированное продление срока.

Закон Нової Зеландії про рівну оплату праці зі змінами встановлює чинні умови допустимості вимоги щодо справедливої оплати праці та порядок реагування на неї. Перш ніж вимога перейде до оцінювання справедливості оплати праці, роботодавець має визначити, чи відповідає вона передбаченим обставинам і вимогам та чи є обґрунтованою. Для обґрунтованості необхідно, щоб роботу виконував колектив, у якому протягом останніх десяти послідовних років жінки становили щонайменше 70% працівників, і щоб були розумні підстави вважати, що ця робота історично недооцінювалася й досі зазнає системного недооцінювання за ознакою статі.

Trước khi yêu cầu được chuyển sang đánh giá công bằng tiền lương, người sử dụng lao động phải xác định liệu yêu cầu đó có phù hợp với các hoàn cảnh, đáp ứng các yêu cầu liên quan và có căn cứ hay không. Để có căn cứ, yêu cầu phải liên quan đến công việc do lực lượng lao động có tỷ lệ nữ ít nhất 70% trong suốt mười năm liên tiếp vừa qua thực hiện, đồng thời phải có lý do hợp lý để tin rằng công việc đó đã bị định giá thấp trong lịch sử và hiện vẫn bị định giá thấp mang tính hệ thống dựa trên giới tính.

Compared with the previous production update:
The 3 October differential review found no newly enacted measure superseding the governed positions. France's Senate dossier was updated on 3 October but Bill 944 remains at first reading. Poland's UC127, Finnish HE 129/2026, Dutch Bill 36949 and Romanian L445/2026 remain pending proposals. Spain's RD 723/2026 enters into force on 5 October, and South Africa continues to require online 2026 Employment Equity filing by 15 January 2027.
0 Changed2 Practical detail43 Rechecked0 Open verification
The official Senate dossier was re-read on 3 October and now identifies the page as updated on 3 October 2026. Bill 944 remains at Senate first reading after its 10 September deposit under the accelerated procedure. The page-date change is recorded; no adopted act or employer commencement was confirmed.
The official BOE record was re-read on 3 October. Royal Decree 723/2026 enters into force on 5 October 2026. Its written-employment-information duties implement Directive (EU) 2019/1152 and must not be presented as complete transposition of Directive (EU) 2023/970.
The live government portal was re-read on 3 October. Manual and posted 2026 EEA2/EEA4 reports remain closed; covered employers must use the online route, complete corrections by 15 January 2027 at 23:59, obtain CEO approval and retain the acknowledgement. No changes are permitted after final submission.
The official Incomes Register guidance was re-read on 3 October. It still says that the legislation is before Parliament and that instructions will be updated if the law changes. The proposed 2027/2030 payroll phases and first separate reports on 2 May 2028/2031 remain conditional on enactment.
The official Gazette amendment, Labour Inspectorate guidance and government register were re-read on 3 October. Binding recruitment duties remain active from 24 December 2025. UC127 remains a bill project, revision 2.0 dated 25 May 2026, with planned Cabinet adoption in Q4 2026 and a blank implementation-status field. This is not enacted law. The source reading is not represented as qualified human legal review or separate approval.
The official government page was re-read on 3 October. It still says that both chambers must approve Bill 36949 and describes 1 January 2027 only as the planned start if the process proceeds as expected. No enacted act or current bill-based employer deadline was confirmed.
All country findings and open points · 45
All 45 tracker records and all 110 governed source routes were covered. The read-only monitor completed 98 routes without a warning and returned 12 access, redirect or network warnings; none is treated as proof of a legal change or absence of law. Official content was re-read for France, Poland, Spain, Finland, the Netherlands, Romania and South Africa. For other records, today's source-availability pass does not advance the substantive legal-review date. Poland's source reading is not represented as qualified human legal review or four-eyes approval.

Its written-employment-information duties implement Directive (EU) 2019/1152; they must not be presented as complete transposition of Directive (EU) 2023/970.
Recommended next step
Within five days, finalise an accessible article 3 information pack, evidence of delivery, change-notice workflow and a 30-working-day queue for existing-worker requests; do not wait for the official template. Keep RD 902 pay-register and equal-value controls active.

All country findings and open points · 45
All 45 tracker records and all 110 governed source routes were covered. The read-only monitor attempted every route: 95 completed without a warning and 15 returned access restrictions, redirects or network warnings; none is treated as proof of a legal change or absence of law. Official content was re-read for South Africa, Spain, the Netherlands, Romania and Finland. France's government source remained access-restricted, so its proposal status is retained with that limitation. Other records keep their prior substantive legal-review dates; today's availability pass does not advance them.
European UnionRechecked
Previously
EU baseline in force; national law must be checked
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 1 October differential review. Retained governed position: Directive (EU) 2023/970 sets the common EU framework for equal pay, recruitment transparency, worker information rights, employer reporting and enforcement. The transposition deadline passed on 7 June 2026, but employer duties must be read through each country's enacted law.

Act No. 76/2026 Coll. in force; transitional information rules apply
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 1 October differential review. Retained governed position: Act No. 76/2026 Coll. took effect on 7 June 2026. Section 6 separates information about an employee's own pay from sex-disaggregated category averages. Under section 18(2), category-average information is first provided for 2027. This does not create a separate 1 January commencement date for own-pay information.

Legislative Decree 96/2026 in force; implementing arrangements require separate review
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 1 October differential review. Retained governed position: Legislative Decree 96/2026 was published on 1 June and took effect on 7 June 2026. Article 7 provides written category-average pay information within two months, with requests no more than once annually and annual notice of the right. The review covered the original decree; later amendments and implementing arrangements were not exhaustively audited.
Recommended next step
Prepare annual and hourly pay components, equal-value groupings and the worker-information response process; obtain the applicable reporting instructions before submission.

Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 1 October differential review. Retained governed position: Lithuania enacted a pay-transparency amendment package.

Government bill no. 944 deposited in the Senate; accelerated procedure, not enacted law
Finding
No enacted French pay-transparency measure was confirmed on 1 October. Automated access to the official government source returned HTTP 403, so the governed position for Bill 944 is retained from the last substantive review and is explicitly not presented as a fresh content verification.
Recommended next step

Monitor Senate first reading and amendments now; no bill-based employer deadline applies before enactment.
Recruitment duties active; wider UC127 proposal remains a draft
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 1 October differential review. Retained governed position: Recruitment amendments apply from 24 December 2025: initial pay or range information, gender-neutral recruitment wording and a restriction on salary-history questions. The official government register separately lists wider proposal UC127 as a draft. This bounded review does not establish complete enacted transposition.
Recommended next step
Audit job advertisements and information sent before interviews; keep the wider reporting design marked as draft.
Suggested owner

Timing / condition
Recruitment duties already apply; Q4 2026 is a government planning date.
RD 902/2020 active; RD 723/2026 effective 5 October 2026; EU PTD completeness unverified
Finding
The official BOE text was re-read on 1 October. RD 723/2026 starts on 5 October, 20 days after publication. It requires written employment information within its scope and gives existing workers a request route with a 30-working-day employer response. It implements Directive 2019/1152 and is not proof that Directive (EU) 2023/970 has been fully transposed.
Recommended next step
Within five days, finalise an accessible article 3 information pack, evidence of delivery, change-notice workflow and a 30-working-day queue for existing-worker requests; do not wait for the official template. Keep RD 902 pay-register and equal-value controls active.

Existing biennial pay-structure report for covered 50+ employers; full transposition not confirmed
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 1 October differential review. Retained governed position: Existing Belgian guidance requires a pay-structure analysis every two financial years for covered employers averaging at least 50 workers: abbreviated model for 50–99, full model from 100. The mediator is optional.

8 measures notified; economy-wide completeness not established
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 1 October differential review. Retained governed position: EUR-Lex listed eight Austrian measures, but the notification set includes limited or public-sector material and does not establish complete economy-wide transposition. Existing salary-range advertising and equality duties continue.
Recommended next step

L445/2026 in Senate committees; procedural dates are not employer deadlines
Finding
The official Senate file was re-read on 1 October. L445/2026 remains in work before the Senate's permanent committees. The 17 October tacit-adoption date is a parliamentary procedure marker, not enactment, commencement or an employer deadline.
Recommended next step
Keep L445/2026 in the draft register, prepare the data model, and wait for final enactment and commencement before activating new thresholds or deadlines.

Ministry plans transposition by end-2026; final enactment not verified
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 1 October differential review. Retained governed position: On 11 September the ministry announced planned pay-transparency transposition by the end of 2026. This adds a dated national plan to the previous notification-only brief; enactment is not established.
Recommended next step
Assign a Slovenian implementation owner and prepare job categories and payroll inputs while monitoring Uradni list for the final act.
Suggested owner

Timing / condition
End of 2026 is the ministry’s planning target, not an employer deadline.
Partial pay-transparency duties active; broader package not transposed in ministry guidance
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 1 October differential review. Retained governed position: The ministry confirms amendments effective 13 July 2026: written pay or range information before the first interview, a salary-history ban, the right to discuss one's own pay and equal pay for the same or equivalent work absent objective gender-neutral justification. Current ministry guidance distinguishes wider Directive duties not yet transposed. Direct statutory article-by-article verification was limited by the legal-register page.
Recommended next step
Check pay information provided before interviews and salary-history questions; keep wider reporting fields in preparation.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
Current partial duties apply now; no new full-package commencement confirmed.
Law 5316/2026 published; confirm applicable commencement provisions
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 1 October differential review. Retained governed position: The parliamentary record confirms Law 5316/2026, voted on 2 July and published in Gazette 105 A on 6 July 2026. EUR-Lex records notification on 23 July with a national declaration of completion. These publication and notification records do not independently establish every operative commencement or reporting clause, and national notification is not a Commission conformity assessment.
Recommended next step
Have local counsel identify the applicable articles and filing instructions for each legal entity before setting its deadline.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
Entity-specific commencement and filing date still require confirmation.
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 1 October differential review. Retained governed position: Malta published Legal Notice 173/2026 on 5 June 2026. Regulation 6 requires a written information response within eight days; requests in 2026 concern 2026 pay. Publication is established, but this review did not independently establish a commencement clause or exhaustively check later amendments.
Recommended next step
Preserve the full 2026 payroll period and obtain written filing instructions resolving regulation 9(5) before submission.
Suggested owner

Great Britain 250+ gender-pay-gap reporting active
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 1 October differential review. Retained governed position: The statutory regime described here covers England, Scotland and Wales, not the whole United Kingdom as one undifferentiated rule. Covered employers with 250 or more relevant employees report annually; private and voluntary-sector employers use a 5 April snapshot and publish by 4 April of the following year, while public authorities generally use 31 March and publish by 30 March.
Recommended next step
Keep the mandatory report calendar and prepare a separate action plan with owners, measurable actions and review dates. Label its present voluntary status.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
Current snapshot cycle: 30 March 2027 for covered public bodies; 4 April 2027 for private/voluntary employers.
Federal equal-pay baseline plus state and local transparency rules
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 1 October differential review. Retained governed position: The federal Equal Pay Act does not use an EU-style 100-worker reporting threshold. Title VII generally applies from 15 employees. EEO-1 demographic reporting generally covers employers with 100 or more employees and qualifying federal contractors with 50 or more employees and a qualifying contract; it is not a universal pay-gap report.
Recommended next step
Check recruiter and agency adverts, California remote eligibility, and payroll/labour-contractor report scope; retain the certified submission receipt.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
California 2025-data deadline was 13 May 2026: check any missing receipt now. Pay scale belongs in each covered posting.
WGEA 100+ reporting active; 500+ target duties also apply
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 1 October differential review. Retained governed position: Relevant Australian employers with 100 or more employees report annually to WGEA. A continuing-employer rule can keep an employer in scope while it remains at 80 or more employees, and employers with 500 or more employees have additional gender-equality target duties.
Recommended next step
Keep CEO approval, governing-body delivery evidence and a three-target register with baselines, owners and the entity’s selection date.
Suggested owner
CEO, HR reporting lead and governing body
Timing / condition
Standard reporting window 1 April–31 May; target period runs three years from selection. Confirm the entity’s portal cycle.
Federal 10+ proactive pay equity and separate 100+ LEEP reporting active
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 1 October differential review. Retained governed position: In federally regulated Canada, the Pay Equity Act generally applies from 10 employees and requires a proactive pay-equity process. The Legislated Employment Equity Program is a separate annual reporting layer generally for covered private-sector employers with 100 or more employees; provincial regimes must be assessed separately.
Recommended next step
Record why the entity is federally regulated, the date it became subject, the plan’s due date and the next five-year update; keep LEEP separate.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
Entity-specific three- and five-year plan clocks; verify annual-statement and LEEP dates separately.
100+ semi-annual reporting active; sixth-report availability not confirmed
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 1 October differential review. Retained governed position: Law 14,611/2023 requires semi-annual transparency reporting by private legal entities with 100+ employees, with anonymisation and mitigation measures. The sixth-report data-update window ran from 3 to 31 August 2026. As of the 11 September public-source review, MTE's main page still referred to the fifth report; availability of the sixth report in an authenticated employer account was not verified.
Recommended next step
Check the employer’s official portal for its report, validate the figures and prepare the required publication; retain evidence of availability and the published report.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
September publication cycle; a precise availability date remains unverified.
Gender wage-gap disclosure applies to 101+ regular workers from 1 April 2026
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 1 October differential review. Retained governed position: From 1 April 2026, employers with 101+ regular workers must disclose the gender wage gap and the proportion of women in management. Employers with 101–300 add at least one other required indicator; 301+ add at least one from each of the two designated categories. The first covered financial year ends on or after 1 April 2026; publication is generally around three months after the next financial year begins.
Recommended next step
Prepare both indicators and the size-appropriate additional item(s). Record the first financial year ending on/after 1 April 2026 and the publication date.
Suggested owner
HR and payroll lead
Timing / condition
Generally about three months after the following financial year begins. A June 2026 year-end points to approximately September 2026, not a universal 30 September deadline.
Equal-value pay applies under the Act; the old under-five-worker exemption was deleted
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 1 October differential review. Retained governed position: Article 8 of the Equal Employment Opportunity and Work-Family Balance Assistance Act requires equal pay for work of equal value within the same business. The former under-five-worker exception in Enforcement Decree article 2(2) was deleted in 2018. Check the remaining specific exceptions, including cohabiting-relative-only businesses and domestic workers, against the authoritative Korean text.
Recommended next step
Review small establishments previously excluded by the tracker. Compare actual skill, effort, responsibility and working conditions within the business.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
Correct scope now; no universal public-report filing date follows from article 8.
Annual reporting active for 519+ employers and specified entities
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 1 October differential review. Retained governed position: Israel's Equal Pay law requires annual gender-pay-gap analysis and publication for employers with more than 518 employees and for specified bodies covered by the amendment. Coverage is not a universal private-employer rule and must be tested by entity type. The current-year deadline and any extension remain unverified in this review.
Recommended next step
Obtain the Commission’s current notice for the covered year before deciding whether the report is late; preserve internal and public reports with privacy controls.
Suggested owner

2026 EEA2/EEA4 reporting open for designated employers
Finding
The official Employment Equity portal was re-read on 1 October. Its stated boundary is precise: manual and posted 2026 EEA2/EEA4 reports will not be accepted after 1 October. Online submissions and corrections remain open until 15 January 2027, require CEO approval, and cannot be changed after final submission.
Recommended next step
Treat 30 September as the last full preparation day for manual or post and dispatch no later than 1 October. Otherwise activate the online account, reconcile EEA2/EEA4, obtain CEO/accounting-officer approval, submit before 15 January and retain the acknowledgement plus submitted forms.

Code on Wages section 3 in force; no universal public reporting
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 1 October differential review. Retained governed position: Section 3 of India's Code on Wages commenced on 21 November 2025 and prohibits gender discrimination in wages for the same or similar work and in recruitment, subject to statutory exceptions. It has no general headcount threshold and does not create a universal public employer pay-gap report.
Recommended next step
Review recruitment templates and wage-comparison controls for gender-inclusive application; confirm the appropriate central/state rules for the establishment.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
Apply the existing section 3 controls now; no universal pay-gap filing date asserted.
Tripartite fair-employment guidance active; Workplace Fairness Act enacted but not yet in force
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 1 October differential review. Retained governed position: Singapore's current employer baseline remains the applicable fair-employment and tripartite framework. The Workplace Fairness Act has been enacted and is targeted to take effect at end-2027. A future exemption for employers with fewer than 25 employees has been announced, but those future statutory provisions are not yet operative. No universal public pay-gap report applies.
Recommended next step
Review recruitment criteria and grievance handling now; keep an owner for the final commencement notice and implementation rules.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
End-2027 target remains subject to commencement arrangements; no universal report deadline.
100+ headcount equal-pay analysis framework active through 30 June 2032
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 1 October differential review. Retained governed position: The Swiss threshold is 100 employees by headcount, not full-time equivalents, and apprentices are excluded. Analysis, independent verification and employee communication are separate steps. A repeat after four years is required only when the prior analysis did not demonstrate equal pay; the statutory framework is time-limited through 30 June 2032.
Recommended next step
Record the last analysis result, workforce at the year start, independent-review evidence and next required date; do not copy another employer’s 2025–2027 sequence.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
Derive the date from first coverage or the last failed analysis; framework runs through 30 June 2032.
National 50+ reporting framework in force; transition depends on prior certification
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 1 October differential review. Retained governed position: Law 53/2026 and consolidated Law 150/2020 establish reporting every three years for entities averaging at least 50 staff annually. Regulation 946/2026 and regulator guidance were read on 13 September: submit job classification, sex-disaggregated pay analysis and a remediation plan where applicable. The earlier EEA-incorporation observation remains dated 3 September and was not reverified.
Recommended next step
Locate the latest certificate or confirmation and approval of the equality plan; calculate the entity’s deadline from that evidence.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
Prior certificate/confirmation: three years after the latest one. Neither held: before 1 March 2027.
Amended equal-pay and pay-equity claim process active; no universal public report
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 1 October differential review. Retained governed position: New Zealand's amended Equal Pay Act requires the current pay-equity claim eligibility and response process. A pay-equity claim generally concerns work performed by a workforce that is at least 70% female and has been predominantly female for at least ten consecutive years. The employer acknowledges a claim within five working days and generally decides whether it is arguable within 60 working days.
Recommended next step
Create a receipt-date log, acknowledgement template, union-notification privacy check and decision calendar; obtain legal review before discontinuing a claim.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
5 working days to acknowledge; 60 working days to decide. Extension: up to 20 working days for one employer, 80 for multiple employers, subject to the guidance conditions.
Job-category and equal-value pay framework active without a general headcount threshold
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 1 October differential review. Retained governed position: Law 30,709 requires salary-policy controls and job-category/function schedules supporting non-discriminatory remuneration. The official Congress explanation also requires informing workers of the salary policy. The previously stated 4 August 2026 Supreme Court development could not be substantiated and is withdrawn; it must not be relied on as legal evidence.
Recommended next step
Keep approved category/function schedules and evidence that workers received the salary policy. Obtain the actual judgment before using any case-law claim in a pay decision.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
Maintain the existing controls now; no new court-created deadline is asserted.
Same-work pay rule active; 10+ complaint procedure and 200+ role register
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 1 October differential review. Retained governed position: Chile's statutory rule addresses equal remuneration for the same work and should not be described as a general equal-value regime. Employers with 10 or more workers require the applicable internal complaint procedure with a written response within 30 days; employers with 200 or more workers must maintain the prescribed register of positions or functions. No universal public pay-gap report applies.
Recommended next step
Check the internal regulations and who receives a pay complaint; ensure the response explains the objective basis and is retained.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
Reasoned written response within 30 days of the complaint.
Equal-remuneration baseline; separate confidential social balance for more than 300 workers
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 1 October differential review. Retained governed position: The equal-remuneration baseline is separate from Law 25,877 articles 25–27. The latter require an annual confidential social balance for employers with more than 300 workers (301+), not 300 or more. Delivery to the relevant union is within 30 days of preparation, with a confidential copy to the labour authority.
Recommended next step
Recheck entities with exactly 300 workers. For covered employers, assign preparation, union delivery and confidential authority-copy responsibilities.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
Annual balance; union delivery within 30 days after preparation. Article 27 governs first application after reaching the statutory size.
The 30 September deep review confirmed no newly enacted measure superseding the governed positions. Two employer clocks are now urgent: 30 September is the last full preparation day before South Africa stops accepting manual or posted 2026 EEA2/EEA4 reports after 1 October, and Spain's RD 723/2026 written-employment-information duties start on 5 October. Dutch Bill 36949, Romanian L445/2026, French Bill 944 and Finnish HE 129/2026 remain proposals, not current employer law.

EU baseline in force; national law must be checked
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 30 September differential review. Retained governed position: Directive (EU) 2023/970 sets the common EU framework for equal pay, recruitment transparency, worker information rights, employer reporting and enforcement. The transposition deadline passed on 7 June 2026, but employer duties must be read through each country's enacted law.

Act No. 76/2026 Coll. in force; transitional information rules apply
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 30 September differential review. Retained governed position: Act No. 76/2026 Coll. took effect on 7 June 2026. Section 6 separates information about an employee's own pay from sex-disaggregated category averages. Under section 18(2), category-average information is first provided for 2027. This does not create a separate 1 January commencement date for own-pay information.

Legislative Decree 96/2026 in force; implementing arrangements require separate review
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 30 September differential review. Retained governed position: Legislative Decree 96/2026 was published on 1 June and took effect on 7 June 2026. Article 7 provides written category-average pay information within two months, with requests no more than once annually and annual notice of the right. The review covered the original decree; later amendments and implementing arrangements were not exhaustively audited.

Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 30 September differential review. Retained governed position: Lithuania enacted a pay-transparency amendment package. Employer pay-system design, candidate information, equal-value grouping and Sodra data flows are an active implementation programme, with obligations and data changes staged across 2026-2028.

Government bill no. 944 deposited in the Senate; accelerated procedure, not enacted law
Finding
The official Senate dossier was re-read on 30 September. Bill 944 still shows its 10 September deposit and first reading under the accelerated procedure; the page remains last updated on 18 September and shows no adopted act or commencement.
Recommended next step
Keep the existing equality-index workflow active. Map payroll, equal-value categories and recruitment fields to the proposal, but activate new duties only after final enactment and decree review.
Suggested owner

Timing / condition
Monitor Senate first reading and amendments now; no bill-based employer deadline applies before enactment.
Recruitment duties active; wider UC127 proposal remains a draft
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 30 September differential review. Retained governed position: Recruitment amendments apply from 24 December 2025: initial pay or range information, gender-neutral recruitment wording and a restriction on salary-history questions. The official government register separately lists wider proposal UC127 as a draft. This bounded review does not establish complete enacted transposition.
Recommended next step
Audit job advertisements and information sent before interviews; keep the wider reporting design marked as draft.
Suggested owner

Timing / condition
Recruitment duties already apply; Q4 2026 is a government planning date.
RD 902/2020 active; RD 723/2026 effective 5 October 2026; EU PTD completeness unverified
Finding
BOE was re-read on 30 September. RD 723/2026 still takes effect on 5 October 2026 and implements Directive 2019/1152, not complete Directive 2023/970 transposition. New relationships need article 3 information before work starts; existing workers can request missing information with a 30-working-day response. A bounded official-domain search did not locate the promised template, but BOE expressly says the template does not condition enforceability.
Recommended next step
Within five days, finalise an accessible article 3 information pack, evidence of delivery, change-notice workflow and a 30-working-day queue for existing-worker requests; do not wait for the official template. Keep RD 902 pay-register and equal-value controls active.

Finding
The official Tweede Kamer record was re-read on 30 September. Bill 36949 remains pending, with plenary debates scheduled for 7 December 2026 and 11 January 2027. Its proposed 100+ reporting scope, 5% unexplained-gap remediation path within six months and Labour Inspectorate enforcement remain planning details, not current law.

Existing biennial pay-structure report for covered 50+ employers; full transposition not confirmed
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 30 September differential review. Retained governed position: Existing Belgian guidance requires a pay-structure analysis every two financial years for covered employers averaging at least 50 workers: abbreviated model for 50–99, full model from 100. The mediator is optional.
Recommended next step
Confirm the statutory headcount calculation and use the correct model; schedule presentation to the works council or trade-union delegation.
Suggested owner

L445/2026 in Senate committees; procedural dates are not employer deadlines
Finding
The official Senate record was re-read on 30 September. L445/2026 remains in permanent committees. The displayed 17 October 2026 milestone is the extended tacit-adoption deadline, not employer commencement.
Recommended next step

Ministry plans transposition by end-2026; final enactment not verified
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 30 September differential review. Retained governed position: On 11 September the ministry announced planned pay-transparency transposition by the end of 2026. This adds a dated national plan to the previous notification-only brief; enactment is not established.
Recommended next step
Assign a Slovenian implementation owner and prepare job categories and payroll inputs while monitoring Uradni list for the final act.

End of 2026 is the ministry’s planning target, not an employer deadline.
Partial pay-transparency duties active; broader package not transposed in ministry guidance
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 30 September differential review. Retained governed position: The ministry confirms amendments effective 13 July 2026: written pay or range information before the first interview, a salary-history ban, the right to discuss one's own pay and equal pay for the same or equivalent work absent objective gender-neutral justification. Current ministry guidance distinguishes wider Directive duties not yet transposed. Direct statutory article-by-article verification was limited by the legal-register page.
Recommended next step
Check pay information provided before interviews and salary-history questions; keep wider reporting fields in preparation.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
Current partial duties apply now; no new full-package commencement confirmed.
Law 5316/2026 published; confirm applicable commencement provisions
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 30 September differential review. Retained governed position: The parliamentary record confirms Law 5316/2026, voted on 2 July and published in Gazette 105 A on 6 July 2026. EUR-Lex records notification on 23 July with a national declaration of completion. These publication and notification records do not independently establish every operative commencement or reporting clause, and national notification is not a Commission conformity assessment.
Recommended next step
Have local counsel identify the applicable articles and filing instructions for each legal entity before setting its deadline.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
Entity-specific commencement and filing date still require confirmation.
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 30 September differential review. Retained governed position: Malta published Legal Notice 173/2026 on 5 June 2026. Regulation 6 requires a written information response within eight days; requests in 2026 concern 2026 pay. Publication is established, but this review did not independently establish a commencement clause or exhaustively check later amendments.

Great Britain 250+ gender-pay-gap reporting active
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 30 September differential review. Retained governed position: The statutory regime described here covers England, Scotland and Wales, not the whole United Kingdom as one undifferentiated rule. Covered employers with 250 or more relevant employees report annually; private and voluntary-sector employers use a 5 April snapshot and publish by 4 April of the following year, while public authorities generally use 31 March and publish by 30 March.
Recommended next step
Keep the mandatory report calendar and prepare a separate action plan with owners, measurable actions and review dates. Label its present voluntary status.
Suggested owner

Timing / condition
Current snapshot cycle: 30 March 2027 for covered public bodies; 4 April 2027 for private/voluntary employers.
Federal equal-pay baseline plus state and local transparency rules
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 30 September differential review. Retained governed position: The federal Equal Pay Act does not use an EU-style 100-worker reporting threshold. Title VII generally applies from 15 employees. EEO-1 demographic reporting generally covers employers with 100 or more employees and qualifying federal contractors with 50 or more employees and a qualifying contract; it is not a universal pay-gap report.
Recommended next step
Check recruiter and agency adverts, California remote eligibility, and payroll/labour-contractor report scope; retain the certified submission receipt.

California 2025-data deadline was 13 May 2026: check any missing receipt now. Pay scale belongs in each covered posting.
WGEA 100+ reporting active; 500+ target duties also apply
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 30 September differential review. Retained governed position: Relevant Australian employers with 100 or more employees report annually to WGEA. A continuing-employer rule can keep an employer in scope while it remains at 80 or more employees, and employers with 500 or more employees have additional gender-equality target duties.
Recommended next step
Keep CEO approval, governing-body delivery evidence and a three-target register with baselines, owners and the entity’s selection date.
Suggested owner
CEO, HR reporting lead and governing body
Timing / condition
Standard reporting window 1 April–31 May; target period runs three years from selection. Confirm the entity’s portal cycle.
Federal 10+ proactive pay equity and separate 100+ LEEP reporting active
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 30 September differential review. Retained governed position: In federally regulated Canada, the Pay Equity Act generally applies from 10 employees and requires a proactive pay-equity process. The Legislated Employment Equity Program is a separate annual reporting layer generally for covered private-sector employers with 100 or more employees; provincial regimes must be assessed separately.
Recommended next step
Record why the entity is federally regulated, the date it became subject, the plan’s due date and the next five-year update; keep LEEP separate.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
Entity-specific three- and five-year plan clocks; verify annual-statement and LEEP dates separately.
100+ semi-annual reporting active; sixth-report availability not confirmed
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 30 September differential review. Retained governed position: Law 14,611/2023 requires semi-annual transparency reporting by private legal entities with 100+ employees, with anonymisation and mitigation measures. The sixth-report data-update window ran from 3 to 31 August 2026. As of the 11 September public-source review, MTE's main page still referred to the fifth report; availability of the sixth report in an authenticated employer account was not verified.
Recommended next step
Check the employer’s official portal for its report, validate the figures and prepare the required publication; retain evidence of availability and the published report.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition

Gender wage-gap disclosure applies to 101+ regular workers from 1 April 2026
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 30 September differential review. Retained governed position: From 1 April 2026, employers with 101+ regular workers must disclose the gender wage gap and the proportion of women in management. Employers with 101–300 add at least one other required indicator; 301+ add at least one from each of the two designated categories. The first covered financial year ends on or after 1 April 2026; publication is generally around three months after the next financial year begins.
Recommended next step
Prepare both indicators and the size-appropriate additional item(s). Record the first financial year ending on/after 1 April 2026 and the publication date.
Suggested owner

Timing / condition
Generally about three months after the following financial year begins. A June 2026 year-end points to approximately September 2026, not a universal 30 September deadline.
Equal-value pay applies under the Act; the old under-five-worker exemption was deleted
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 30 September differential review. Retained governed position: Article 8 of the Equal Employment Opportunity and Work-Family Balance Assistance Act requires equal pay for work of equal value within the same business. The former under-five-worker exception in Enforcement Decree article 2(2) was deleted in 2018. Check the remaining specific exceptions, including cohabiting-relative-only businesses and domestic workers, against the authoritative Korean text.
Recommended next step
Review small establishments previously excluded by the tracker. Compare actual skill, effort, responsibility and working conditions within the business.
Suggested owner

Timing / condition
Correct scope now; no universal public-report filing date follows from article 8.
Annual reporting active for 519+ employers and specified entities
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 30 September differential review. Retained governed position: Israel's Equal Pay law requires annual gender-pay-gap analysis and publication for employers with more than 518 employees and for specified bodies covered by the amendment. Coverage is not a universal private-employer rule and must be tested by entity type. The current-year deadline and any extension remain unverified in this review.
Recommended next step
Obtain the Commission’s current notice for the covered year before deciding whether the report is late; preserve internal and public reports with privacy controls.

2026 EEA2/EEA4 reporting open for designated employers
Finding
The live Department of Employment and Labour portal was re-read on 30 September. The 2026 EEA2/EEA4 cycle is open for employers with 50+ workers, organs of state and 1–49 employers designated by collective agreement. Manual and posted reports will not be accepted after 1 October; online submission closes 15 January 2027 at 23:59 after consultation and CEO/accounting-officer approval.
Recommended next step

Code on Wages section 3 in force; no universal public reporting
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 30 September differential review. Retained governed position: Section 3 of India's Code on Wages commenced on 21 November 2025 and prohibits gender discrimination in wages for the same or similar work and in recruitment, subject to statutory exceptions. It has no general headcount threshold and does not create a universal public employer pay-gap report.
Recommended next step
Review recruitment templates and wage-comparison controls for gender-inclusive application; confirm the appropriate central/state rules for the establishment.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
Apply the existing section 3 controls now; no universal pay-gap filing date asserted.
Tripartite fair-employment guidance active; Workplace Fairness Act enacted but not yet in force
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 30 September differential review. Retained governed position: Singapore's current employer baseline remains the applicable fair-employment and tripartite framework. The Workplace Fairness Act has been enacted and is targeted to take effect at end-2027. A future exemption for employers with fewer than 25 employees has been announced, but those future statutory provisions are not yet operative. No universal public pay-gap report applies.
Recommended next step
Review recruitment criteria and grievance handling now; keep an owner for the final commencement notice and implementation rules.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
End-2027 target remains subject to commencement arrangements; no universal report deadline.
100+ headcount equal-pay analysis framework active through 30 June 2032
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 30 September differential review. Retained governed position: The Swiss threshold is 100 employees by headcount, not full-time equivalents, and apprentices are excluded. Analysis, independent verification and employee communication are separate steps. A repeat after four years is required only when the prior analysis did not demonstrate equal pay; the statutory framework is time-limited through 30 June 2032.
Recommended next step
Record the last analysis result, workforce at the year start, independent-review evidence and next required date; do not copy another employer’s 2025–2027 sequence.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
Derive the date from first coverage or the last failed analysis; framework runs through 30 June 2032.
National 50+ reporting framework in force; transition depends on prior certification
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 30 September differential review. Retained governed position: Law 53/2026 and consolidated Law 150/2020 establish reporting every three years for entities averaging at least 50 staff annually. Regulation 946/2026 and regulator guidance were read on 13 September: submit job classification, sex-disaggregated pay analysis and a remediation plan where applicable. The earlier EEA-incorporation observation remains dated 3 September and was not reverified.
Recommended next step
Locate the latest certificate or confirmation and approval of the equality plan; calculate the entity’s deadline from that evidence.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
Prior certificate/confirmation: three years after the latest one. Neither held: before 1 March 2027.
Amended equal-pay and pay-equity claim process active; no universal public report
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 30 September differential review. Retained governed position: New Zealand's amended Equal Pay Act requires the current pay-equity claim eligibility and response process. A pay-equity claim generally concerns work performed by a workforce that is at least 70% female and has been predominantly female for at least ten consecutive years. The employer acknowledges a claim within five working days and generally decides whether it is arguable within 60 working days.
Recommended next step
Create a receipt-date log, acknowledgement template, union-notification privacy check and decision calendar; obtain legal review before discontinuing a claim.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
5 working days to acknowledge; 60 working days to decide. Extension: up to 20 working days for one employer, 80 for multiple employers, subject to the guidance conditions.
Job-category and equal-value pay framework active without a general headcount threshold
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 30 September differential review. Retained governed position: Law 30,709 requires salary-policy controls and job-category/function schedules supporting non-discriminatory remuneration. The official Congress explanation also requires informing workers of the salary policy. The previously stated 4 August 2026 Supreme Court development could not be substantiated and is withdrawn; it must not be relied on as legal evidence.
Recommended next step
Keep approved category/function schedules and evidence that workers received the salary policy. Obtain the actual judgment before using any case-law claim in a pay decision.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
Maintain the existing controls now; no new court-created deadline is asserted.
Same-work pay rule active; 10+ complaint procedure and 200+ role register
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 30 September differential review. Retained governed position: Chile's statutory rule addresses equal remuneration for the same work and should not be described as a general equal-value regime. Employers with 10 or more workers require the applicable internal complaint procedure with a written response within 30 days; employers with 200 or more workers must maintain the prescribed register of positions or functions. No universal public pay-gap report applies.
Recommended next step
Check the internal regulations and who receives a pay complaint; ensure the response explains the objective basis and is retained.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
Reasoned written response within 30 days of the complaint.
Equal-remuneration baseline; separate confidential social balance for more than 300 workers
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 30 September differential review. Retained governed position: The equal-remuneration baseline is separate from Law 25,877 articles 25–27. The latter require an annual confidential social balance for employers with more than 300 workers (301+), not 300 or more. Delivery to the relevant union is within 30 days of preparation, with a confidential copy to the labour authority.
Recommended next step
Recheck entities with exactly 300 workers. For covered employers, assign preparation, union delivery and confidential authority-copy responsibilities.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
Annual balance; union delivery within 30 days after preparation. Article 27 governs first application after reaching the statutory size.
The 29 September deep review confirmed no newly enacted measure superseding the governed positions. The immediate employer clock is now operational: South Africa stops accepting manual or posted 2026 EEA2/EEA4 reports after 1 October, while Spain's RD 723/2026 written-employment-information duties start on 5 October. Dutch Bill 36949 remains pending; its 100+ reporting, 5%/six-month remediation and enforcement model is planning detail, not current law.

EU baseline in force; national law must be checked
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 29 September differential review. Retained governed position: Directive (EU) 2023/970 sets the common EU framework for equal pay, recruitment transparency, worker information rights, employer reporting and enforcement. The transposition deadline passed on 7 June 2026, but employer duties must be read through each country's enacted law.

Act No. 76/2026 Coll. in force; transitional information rules apply
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 29 September differential review. Retained governed position: Act No. 76/2026 Coll. took effect on 7 June 2026. Section 6 separates information about an employee's own pay from sex-disaggregated category averages. Under section 18(2), category-average information is first provided for 2027. This does not create a separate 1 January commencement date for own-pay information.

Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 29 September differential review. Retained governed position: Legislative Decree 96/2026 was published on 1 June and took effect on 7 June 2026. Article 7 provides written category-average pay information within two months, with requests no more than once annually and annual notice of the right. The review covered the original decree; later amendments and implementing arrangements were not exhaustively audited.

Government bill no. 944 deposited in the Senate; accelerated procedure, not enacted law
Finding
The official Senate dossier was re-read on 29 September. Bill 944 still shows its 10 September deposit and first reading under the accelerated procedure; the page remains last updated on 18 September and shows no adopted act or commencement.

Recruitment duties active; wider UC127 proposal remains a draft
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 29 September differential review. Retained governed position: Recruitment amendments apply from 24 December 2025: initial pay or range information, gender-neutral recruitment wording and a restriction on salary-history questions. The official government register separately lists wider proposal UC127 as a draft. This bounded review does not establish complete enacted transposition.
Recommended next step
Audit job advertisements and information sent before interviews; keep the wider reporting design marked as draft.
Suggested owner

Recruitment duties already apply; Q4 2026 is a government planning date.
RD 902/2020 active; RD 723/2026 effective 5 October 2026; EU PTD completeness unverified
Finding
BOE was re-read on 29 September. RD 723/2026 still takes effect on 5 October 2026 and remains a written-employment-information layer implementing Directive 2019/1152, not proof of complete Directive 2023/970 transposition. New relationships need the article 3 information before work starts; existing workers can request missing information with a 30-working-day response. The official template does not condition enforceability.
Recommended next step
Within six days, finalise a mobile-accessible article 3 information pack, evidence of delivery, change-notice workflow and a 30-working-day queue for existing-worker requests; keep RD 902 pay-register and equal-value controls active.

Finding
Official government and Tweede Kamer pages were re-read on 29 September. Bill 36949 remains pending, with plenary debates scheduled for 7 December 2026 and 11 January 2027. For planning only, the proposal uses 100+ reporting scope, a 5% unexplained-gap remediation path within six months and Labour Inspectorate enforcement. None is current law before enactment.
Recommended next step
Build a provisional 100+ headcount and reporting map, identify any 5% equal-value gaps and name the six-month remediation owner; keep the entire workflow disabled as a legal obligation until enactment.

Existing biennial pay-structure report for covered 50+ employers; full transposition not confirmed
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 29 September differential review. Retained governed position: Existing Belgian guidance requires a pay-structure analysis every two financial years for covered employers averaging at least 50 workers: abbreviated model for 50–99, full model from 100. The mediator is optional.
Recommended next step
Confirm the statutory headcount calculation and use the correct model; schedule presentation to the works council or trade-union delegation.

Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 29 September differential review.

L445/2026 in Senate committees; procedural dates are not employer deadlines
Finding
The official Senate record was re-read on 29 September. L445/2026 remains in permanent committees. The Senate approved extending the tacit-adoption period to 60 days on 21 September, and the displayed milestone remains 17 October 2026; it is a parliamentary deadline, not employer commencement.
Recommended next step
Keep L445/2026 in the draft register, prepare the data model, and wait for final enactment and commencement before activating new thresholds or deadlines.

Ministry plans transposition by end-2026; final enactment not verified
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 29 September differential review. Retained governed position: On 11 September the ministry announced planned pay-transparency transposition by the end of 2026. This adds a dated national plan to the previous notification-only brief; enactment is not established.
Recommended next step
Assign a Slovenian implementation owner and prepare job categories and payroll inputs while monitoring Uradni list for the final act.
Suggested owner

Timing / condition
End of 2026 is the ministry’s planning target, not an employer deadline.
Partial pay-transparency duties active; broader package not transposed in ministry guidance
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 29 September differential review. Retained governed position: The ministry confirms amendments effective 13 July 2026: written pay or range information before the first interview, a salary-history ban, the right to discuss one's own pay and equal pay for the same or equivalent work absent objective gender-neutral justification. Current ministry guidance distinguishes wider Directive duties not yet transposed. Direct statutory article-by-article verification was limited by the legal-register page.
Recommended next step
Check pay information provided before interviews and salary-history questions; keep wider reporting fields in preparation.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
Current partial duties apply now; no new full-package commencement confirmed.
Law 5316/2026 published; confirm applicable commencement provisions
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 29 September differential review. Retained governed position: The parliamentary record confirms Law 5316/2026, voted on 2 July and published in Gazette 105 A on 6 July 2026. EUR-Lex records notification on 23 July with a national declaration of completion. These publication and notification records do not independently establish every operative commencement or reporting clause, and national notification is not a Commission conformity assessment.
Recommended next step
Have local counsel identify the applicable articles and filing instructions for each legal entity before setting its deadline.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
Entity-specific commencement and filing date still require confirmation.
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 29 September differential review. Retained governed position: Malta published Legal Notice 173/2026 on 5 June 2026. Regulation 6 requires a written information response within eight days; requests in 2026 concern 2026 pay. Publication is established, but this review did not independently establish a commencement clause or exhaustively check later amendments.
Recommended next step
Preserve the full 2026 payroll period and obtain written filing instructions resolving regulation 9(5) before submission.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
First reports by 7 June 2027 / 7 June 2031; resolve the additional timing clause locally.
Parliamentary discussion documented; enacted transposition not verified
Finding

Great Britain 250+ gender-pay-gap reporting active
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 29 September differential review. Retained governed position: The statutory regime described here covers England, Scotland and Wales, not the whole United Kingdom as one undifferentiated rule. Covered employers with 250 or more relevant employees report annually; private and voluntary-sector employers use a 5 April snapshot and publish by 4 April of the following year, while public authorities generally use 31 March and publish by 30 March.
Recommended next step
Keep the mandatory report calendar and prepare a separate action plan with owners, measurable actions and review dates. Label its present voluntary status.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
Current snapshot cycle: 30 March 2027 for covered public bodies; 4 April 2027 for private/voluntary employers.
Federal equal-pay baseline plus state and local transparency rules
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 29 September differential review. Retained governed position: The federal Equal Pay Act does not use an EU-style 100-worker reporting threshold. Title VII generally applies from 15 employees. EEO-1 demographic reporting generally covers employers with 100 or more employees and qualifying federal contractors with 50 or more employees and a qualifying contract; it is not a universal pay-gap report.
Recommended next step
Check recruiter and agency adverts, California remote eligibility, and payroll/labour-contractor report scope; retain the certified submission receipt.
Suggested owner

Timing / condition
California 2025-data deadline was 13 May 2026: check any missing receipt now. Pay scale belongs in each covered posting.
WGEA 100+ reporting active; 500+ target duties also apply
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 29 September differential review. Retained governed position: Relevant Australian employers with 100 or more employees report annually to WGEA. A continuing-employer rule can keep an employer in scope while it remains at 80 or more employees, and employers with 500 or more employees have additional gender-equality target duties.
Recommended next step
Keep CEO approval, governing-body delivery evidence and a three-target register with baselines, owners and the entity’s selection date.
Suggested owner
CEO, HR reporting lead and governing body
Timing / condition
Standard reporting window 1 April–31 May; target period runs three years from selection. Confirm the entity’s portal cycle.
Federal 10+ proactive pay equity and separate 100+ LEEP reporting active
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 29 September differential review. Retained governed position: In federally regulated Canada, the Pay Equity Act generally applies from 10 employees and requires a proactive pay-equity process. The Legislated Employment Equity Program is a separate annual reporting layer generally for covered private-sector employers with 100 or more employees; provincial regimes must be assessed separately.
Recommended next step
Record why the entity is federally regulated, the date it became subject, the plan’s due date and the next five-year update; keep LEEP separate.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
Entity-specific three- and five-year plan clocks; verify annual-statement and LEEP dates separately.
100+ semi-annual reporting active; sixth-report availability not confirmed
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 29 September differential review. Retained governed position: Law 14,611/2023 requires semi-annual transparency reporting by private legal entities with 100+ employees, with anonymisation and mitigation measures. The sixth-report data-update window ran from 3 to 31 August 2026. As of the 11 September public-source review, MTE's main page still referred to the fifth report; availability of the sixth report in an authenticated employer account was not verified.
Recommended next step
Check the employer’s official portal for its report, validate the figures and prepare the required publication; retain evidence of availability and the published report.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
September publication cycle; a precise availability date remains unverified.
Gender wage-gap disclosure applies to 101+ regular workers from 1 April 2026
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 29 September differential review. Retained governed position: From 1 April 2026, employers with 101+ regular workers must disclose the gender wage gap and the proportion of women in management. Employers with 101–300 add at least one other required indicator; 301+ add at least one from each of the two designated categories. The first covered financial year ends on or after 1 April 2026; publication is generally around three months after the next financial year begins.
Recommended next step
Prepare both indicators and the size-appropriate additional item(s). Record the first financial year ending on/after 1 April 2026 and the publication date.
Suggested owner
HR and payroll lead
Timing / condition
Generally about three months after the following financial year begins. A June 2026 year-end points to approximately September 2026, not a universal 30 September deadline.
Equal-value pay applies under the Act; the old under-five-worker exemption was deleted
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 29 September differential review. Retained governed position: Article 8 of the Equal Employment Opportunity and Work-Family Balance Assistance Act requires equal pay for work of equal value within the same business. The former under-five-worker exception in Enforcement Decree article 2(2) was deleted in 2018. Check the remaining specific exceptions, including cohabiting-relative-only businesses and domestic workers, against the authoritative Korean text.
Recommended next step
Review small establishments previously excluded by the tracker. Compare actual skill, effort, responsibility and working conditions within the business.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
Correct scope now; no universal public-report filing date follows from article 8.
Annual reporting active for 519+ employers and specified entities
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 29 September differential review. Retained governed position: Israel's Equal Pay law requires annual gender-pay-gap analysis and publication for employers with more than 518 employees and for specified bodies covered by the amendment. Coverage is not a universal private-employer rule and must be tested by entity type. The current-year deadline and any extension remain unverified in this review.
Recommended next step
Obtain the Commission’s current notice for the covered year before deciding whether the report is late; preserve internal and public reports with privacy controls.
Suggested owner

Current-cycle publication deadline and any extension: verification required.
2026 EEA2/EEA4 reporting open for designated employers
Finding
The live Department of Employment and Labour portal was re-read on 29 September. The 2026 EEA2/EEA4 cycle is open for employers with 50+ workers, organs of state and 1–49 employers designated by collective agreement. Manual and posted reports stop after 1 October; online submission closes 15 January 2027 at 23:59 after consultation and CEO/accounting-officer approval.
Recommended next step
If using manual or post, file within two days. Otherwise activate the online account, reconcile EEA2/EEA4, obtain CEO/accounting-officer approval, submit before 15 January and retain the acknowledgement plus submitted forms.

Code on Wages section 3 in force; no universal public reporting
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 29 September differential review. Retained governed position: Section 3 of India's Code on Wages commenced on 21 November 2025 and prohibits gender discrimination in wages for the same or similar work and in recruitment, subject to statutory exceptions. It has no general headcount threshold and does not create a universal public employer pay-gap report.
Recommended next step
Review recruitment templates and wage-comparison controls for gender-inclusive application; confirm the appropriate central/state rules for the establishment.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
Apply the existing section 3 controls now; no universal pay-gap filing date asserted.
Tripartite fair-employment guidance active; Workplace Fairness Act enacted but not yet in force
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 29 September differential review. Retained governed position: Singapore's current employer baseline remains the applicable fair-employment and tripartite framework. The Workplace Fairness Act has been enacted and is targeted to take effect at end-2027. A future exemption for employers with fewer than 25 employees has been announced, but those future statutory provisions are not yet operative. No universal public pay-gap report applies.
Recommended next step
Review recruitment criteria and grievance handling now; keep an owner for the final commencement notice and implementation rules.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
End-2027 target remains subject to commencement arrangements; no universal report deadline.
100+ headcount equal-pay analysis framework active through 30 June 2032
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 29 September differential review. Retained governed position: The Swiss threshold is 100 employees by headcount, not full-time equivalents, and apprentices are excluded. Analysis, independent verification and employee communication are separate steps. A repeat after four years is required only when the prior analysis did not demonstrate equal pay; the statutory framework is time-limited through 30 June 2032.
Recommended next step
Record the last analysis result, workforce at the year start, independent-review evidence and next required date; do not copy another employer’s 2025–2027 sequence.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
Derive the date from first coverage or the last failed analysis; framework runs through 30 June 2032.
National 50+ reporting framework in force; transition depends on prior certification
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 29 September differential review. Retained governed position: Law 53/2026 and consolidated Law 150/2020 establish reporting every three years for entities averaging at least 50 staff annually. Regulation 946/2026 and regulator guidance were read on 13 September: submit job classification, sex-disaggregated pay analysis and a remediation plan where applicable. The earlier EEA-incorporation observation remains dated 3 September and was not reverified.
Recommended next step
Locate the latest certificate or confirmation and approval of the equality plan; calculate the entity’s deadline from that evidence.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
Prior certificate/confirmation: three years after the latest one. Neither held: before 1 March 2027.
Amended equal-pay and pay-equity claim process active; no universal public report
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 29 September differential review. Retained governed position: New Zealand's amended Equal Pay Act requires the current pay-equity claim eligibility and response process. A pay-equity claim generally concerns work performed by a workforce that is at least 70% female and has been predominantly female for at least ten consecutive years. The employer acknowledges a claim within five working days and generally decides whether it is arguable within 60 working days.
Recommended next step
Create a receipt-date log, acknowledgement template, union-notification privacy check and decision calendar; obtain legal review before discontinuing a claim.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
5 working days to acknowledge; 60 working days to decide. Extension: up to 20 working days for one employer, 80 for multiple employers, subject to the guidance conditions.
Job-category and equal-value pay framework active without a general headcount threshold
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 29 September differential review. Retained governed position: Law 30,709 requires salary-policy controls and job-category/function schedules supporting non-discriminatory remuneration. The official Congress explanation also requires informing workers of the salary policy. The previously stated 4 August 2026 Supreme Court development could not be substantiated and is withdrawn; it must not be relied on as legal evidence.
Recommended next step
Keep approved category/function schedules and evidence that workers received the salary policy. Obtain the actual judgment before using any case-law claim in a pay decision.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
Maintain the existing controls now; no new court-created deadline is asserted.
Same-work pay rule active; 10+ complaint procedure and 200+ role register
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 29 September differential review. Retained governed position: Chile's statutory rule addresses equal remuneration for the same work and should not be described as a general equal-value regime. Employers with 10 or more workers require the applicable internal complaint procedure with a written response within 30 days; employers with 200 or more workers must maintain the prescribed register of positions or functions. No universal public pay-gap report applies.
Recommended next step
Check the internal regulations and who receives a pay complaint; ensure the response explains the objective basis and is retained.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
Reasoned written response within 30 days of the complaint.
Equal-remuneration baseline; separate confidential social balance for more than 300 workers
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 29 September differential review. Retained governed position: The equal-remuneration baseline is separate from Law 25,877 articles 25–27. The latter require an annual confidential social balance for employers with more than 300 workers (301+), not 300 or more. Delivery to the relevant union is within 30 days of preparation, with a confidential copy to the labour authority.
Recommended next step
Recheck entities with exactly 300 workers. For covered employers, assign preparation, union delivery and confidential authority-copy responsibilities.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
Annual balance; union delivery within 30 days after preparation. Article 27 governs first application after reaching the statutory size.
The 28 September differential review confirmed no newly enacted measure superseding the governed country positions. Finland HE 129/2026 remains before Parliament, France bill 944 remains at first reading, Romania L445/2026 remains in Senate committees, and Dutch bill 36949 remains scheduled for plenary debate. Near-term employer controls remain South Africa on 1 October and Spain RD 723/2026 on 5 October.

EU baseline in force; national law must be checked
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 28 September differential review. Retained governed position: Directive (EU) 2023/970 sets the common EU framework for equal pay, recruitment transparency, worker information rights, employer reporting and enforcement. The transposition deadline passed on 7 June 2026, but employer duties must be read through each country's enacted law.

Act No. 76/2026 Coll. in force; transitional information rules apply
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 28 September differential review. Retained governed position: Act No. 76/2026 Coll. took effect on 7 June 2026. Section 6 separates information about an employee's own pay from sex-disaggregated category averages. Under section 18(2), category-average information is first provided for 2027. This does not create a separate 1 January commencement date for own-pay information.
Recommended next step
Check the 31 July pay-structure implementation evidence and preserve August–December payroll by equal-value category; start a two-month request-response log.
Suggested owner

Legislative Decree 96/2026 in force; implementing arrangements require separate review
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 28 September differential review. Retained governed position: Legislative Decree 96/2026 was published on 1 June and took effect on 7 June 2026. Article 7 provides written category-average pay information within two months, with requests no more than once annually and annual notice of the right. The review covered the original decree; later amendments and implementing arrangements were not exhaustively audited.
Recommended next step
Prepare annual and hourly pay components, equal-value groupings and the worker-information response process; obtain the applicable reporting instructions before submission.

Government bill no. 944 deposited in the Senate; accelerated procedure, not enacted law
Finding
The official Senate dossier was re-read on 28 September. Bill no. 944 still shows only its 10 September deposit and first reading under the accelerated procedure; the dossier was last updated on 18 September and shows no adopted act or commencement.
Recommended next step
Keep the existing equality-index workflow active. Map payroll, equal-value categories and recruitment fields to the proposal, but activate new duties only after final enactment and decree review.
Suggested owner

Monitor Senate first reading and amendments now; no bill-based employer deadline applies before enactment.
Recruitment duties active; wider UC127 proposal remains a draft
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 28 September differential review. Retained governed position: Recruitment amendments apply from 24 December 2025: initial pay or range information, gender-neutral recruitment wording and a restriction on salary-history questions. The official government register separately lists wider proposal UC127 as a draft. This bounded review does not establish complete enacted transposition.
Recommended next step
Audit job advertisements and information sent before interviews; keep the wider reporting design marked as draft.
Suggested owner

Timing / condition
Recruitment duties already apply; Q4 2026 is a government planning date.
RD 902/2020 active; RD 723/2026 effective 5 October 2026; EU PTD completeness unverified
Finding
BOE was re-read on 28 September. No superseding act was confirmed. RD 902/2020 remains the binding equal-pay, remuneration-register, equal-value and applicable pay-audit layer. RD 723/2026 remains scheduled to take effect on 5 October 2026 as a separate written-employment-information layer that partially transposes Directive (EU) 2019/1152, not Directive (EU) 2023/970; Spain’s EU Pay Transparency completeness status therefore remains unverified.
Recommended next step
Maintain the RD 902/2020 remuneration register and applicable equality-plan pay audit; consult legal worker representatives at least ten days before creating or changing the register and retain the consultation evidence; confirm collective-agreement and autonomous-community effects locally. In parallel, map each RD 723/2026 item to the offer/contract information pack, payroll dictionary and delivery log, and test pre-start delivery, same-day change notices and the algorithmic-pay explanation.

Government bill 36949 pending — no enacted Directive law confirmed
Finding
Bill 36949 remains pending. The official Tweede Kamer record now gives two concrete plenary milestones: 7 December 2026 and 11 January 2027. Both chambers must still approve the bill; no enacted national commencement was confirmed.

Existing biennial pay-structure report for covered 50+ employers; full transposition not confirmed
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 28 September differential review. Retained governed position: Existing Belgian guidance requires a pay-structure analysis every two financial years for covered employers averaging at least 50 workers: abbreviated model for 50–99, full model from 100. The mediator is optional.
Recommended next step
Confirm the statutory headcount calculation and use the correct model; schedule presentation to the works council or trade-union delegation.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
Biennial reporting cycle; derive the next delivery from the employer’s financial years and consultation timetable.
Renegotiation and preparation documented; final legislation not verified

8 measures notified; economy-wide completeness not established
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 28 September differential review. Retained governed position: EUR-Lex listed eight Austrian measures, but the notification set includes limited or public-sector material and does not establish complete economy-wide transposition. Existing salary-range advertising and equality duties continue.
Recommended next step

L445/2026 in Senate committees; procedural dates are not employer deadlines
Finding
The official Senate record was re-read on 28 September. L445/2026 remains in permanent committees. The 60-day tacit-adoption period ends on 17 October 2026; this is a parliamentary milestone and does not activate an employer duty.

Ministry plans transposition by end-2026; final enactment not verified
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 28 September differential review. Retained governed position: On 11 September the ministry announced planned pay-transparency transposition by the end of 2026. This adds a dated national plan to the previous notification-only brief; enactment is not established.
Recommended next step
Assign a Slovenian implementation owner and prepare job categories and payroll inputs while monitoring Uradni list for the final act.
Suggested owner

Timing / condition
End of 2026 is the ministry’s planning target, not an employer deadline.
Partial pay-transparency duties active; broader package not transposed in ministry guidance
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 28 September differential review. Retained governed position: The ministry confirms amendments effective 13 July 2026: written pay or range information before the first interview, a salary-history ban, the right to discuss one's own pay and equal pay for the same or equivalent work absent objective gender-neutral justification. Current ministry guidance distinguishes wider Directive duties not yet transposed. Direct statutory article-by-article verification was limited by the legal-register page.
Recommended next step
Check pay information provided before interviews and salary-history questions; keep wider reporting fields in preparation.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
Current partial duties apply now; no new full-package commencement confirmed.
Law 5316/2026 published; confirm applicable commencement provisions
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 28 September differential review. Retained governed position: The parliamentary record confirms Law 5316/2026, voted on 2 July and published in Gazette 105 A on 6 July 2026. EUR-Lex records notification on 23 July with a national declaration of completion. These publication and notification records do not independently establish every operative commencement or reporting clause, and national notification is not a Commission conformity assessment.
Recommended next step
Have local counsel identify the applicable articles and filing instructions for each legal entity before setting its deadline.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
Entity-specific commencement and filing date still require confirmation.
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 28 September differential review. Retained governed position: Malta published Legal Notice 173/2026 on 5 June 2026. Regulation 6 requires a written information response within eight days; requests in 2026 concern 2026 pay. Publication is established, but this review did not independently establish a commencement clause or exhaustively check later amendments.
Recommended next step
Preserve the full 2026 payroll period and obtain written filing instructions resolving regulation 9(5) before submission.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
First reports by 7 June 2027 / 7 June 2031; resolve the additional timing clause locally.
Parliamentary discussion documented; enacted transposition not verified
Finding
The official committee record documents discussion and a request concerning the Directive. No implementing bill, enacted act or employer threshold was confirmed in accessible official records today.

Great Britain 250+ gender-pay-gap reporting active
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 28 September differential review. Retained governed position: The statutory regime described here covers England, Scotland and Wales, not the whole United Kingdom as one undifferentiated rule. Covered employers with 250 or more relevant employees report annually; private and voluntary-sector employers use a 5 April snapshot and publish by 4 April of the following year, while public authorities generally use 31 March and publish by 30 March.
Recommended next step
Keep the mandatory report calendar and prepare a separate action plan with owners, measurable actions and review dates. Label its present voluntary status.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
Current snapshot cycle: 30 March 2027 for covered public bodies; 4 April 2027 for private/voluntary employers.
Federal equal-pay baseline plus state and local transparency rules
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 28 September differential review. Retained governed position: The federal Equal Pay Act does not use an EU-style 100-worker reporting threshold. Title VII generally applies from 15 employees. EEO-1 demographic reporting generally covers employers with 100 or more employees and qualifying federal contractors with 50 or more employees and a qualifying contract; it is not a universal pay-gap report.
Recommended next step
Check recruiter and agency adverts, California remote eligibility, and payroll/labour-contractor report scope; retain the certified submission receipt.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
California 2025-data deadline was 13 May 2026: check any missing receipt now. Pay scale belongs in each covered posting.
WGEA 100+ reporting active; 500+ target duties also apply
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 28 September differential review. Retained governed position: Relevant Australian employers with 100 or more employees report annually to WGEA. A continuing-employer rule can keep an employer in scope while it remains at 80 or more employees, and employers with 500 or more employees have additional gender-equality target duties.
Recommended next step
Keep CEO approval, governing-body delivery evidence and a three-target register with baselines, owners and the entity’s selection date.
Suggested owner
CEO, HR reporting lead and governing body
Timing / condition
Standard reporting window 1 April–31 May; target period runs three years from selection. Confirm the entity’s portal cycle.
Federal 10+ proactive pay equity and separate 100+ LEEP reporting active
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 28 September differential review. Retained governed position: In federally regulated Canada, the Pay Equity Act generally applies from 10 employees and requires a proactive pay-equity process. The Legislated Employment Equity Program is a separate annual reporting layer generally for covered private-sector employers with 100 or more employees; provincial regimes must be assessed separately.
Recommended next step
Record why the entity is federally regulated, the date it became subject, the plan’s due date and the next five-year update; keep LEEP separate.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
Entity-specific three- and five-year plan clocks; verify annual-statement and LEEP dates separately.
100+ semi-annual reporting active; sixth-report availability not confirmed
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 28 September differential review. Retained governed position: Law 14,611/2023 requires semi-annual transparency reporting by private legal entities with 100+ employees, with anonymisation and mitigation measures. The sixth-report data-update window ran from 3 to 31 August 2026. As of the 11 September public-source review, MTE's main page still referred to the fifth report; availability of the sixth report in an authenticated employer account was not verified.
Recommended next step
Check the employer’s official portal for its report, validate the figures and prepare the required publication; retain evidence of availability and the published report.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
September publication cycle; a precise availability date remains unverified.
Gender wage-gap disclosure applies to 101+ regular workers from 1 April 2026
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 28 September differential review. Retained governed position: From 1 April 2026, employers with 101+ regular workers must disclose the gender wage gap and the proportion of women in management. Employers with 101–300 add at least one other required indicator; 301+ add at least one from each of the two designated categories. The first covered financial year ends on or after 1 April 2026; publication is generally around three months after the next financial year begins.
Recommended next step
Prepare both indicators and the size-appropriate additional item(s). Record the first financial year ending on/after 1 April 2026 and the publication date.
Suggested owner
HR and payroll lead
Timing / condition
Generally about three months after the following financial year begins. A June 2026 year-end points to approximately September 2026, not a universal 30 September deadline.
Equal-value pay applies under the Act; the old under-five-worker exemption was deleted
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 28 September differential review. Retained governed position: Article 8 of the Equal Employment Opportunity and Work-Family Balance Assistance Act requires equal pay for work of equal value within the same business. The former under-five-worker exception in Enforcement Decree article 2(2) was deleted in 2018. Check the remaining specific exceptions, including cohabiting-relative-only businesses and domestic workers, against the authoritative Korean text.
Recommended next step
Review small establishments previously excluded by the tracker. Compare actual skill, effort, responsibility and working conditions within the business.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
Correct scope now; no universal public-report filing date follows from article 8.
Annual reporting active for 519+ employers and specified entities
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 28 September differential review. Retained governed position: Israel's Equal Pay law requires annual gender-pay-gap analysis and publication for employers with more than 518 employees and for specified bodies covered by the amendment. Coverage is not a universal private-employer rule and must be tested by entity type. The current-year deadline and any extension remain unverified in this review.
Recommended next step
Obtain the Commission’s current notice for the covered year before deciding whether the report is late; preserve internal and public reports with privacy controls.
Suggested owner

Current-cycle publication deadline and any extension: verification required.
2026 EEA2/EEA4 reporting open for designated employers
Finding
The official 2026 Employment Equity portal and Department guidance were re-read on 28 September. EEA2 and EEA4 reporting remains open for designated employers. Manual and posted reports are not accepted after 1 October 2026; online submission remains open until 15 January 2027 at 23:59. CEO or accounting-officer approval and the acknowledgement package remain required evidence. No superseding rule was confirmed.
Recommended next step

Code on Wages section 3 in force; no universal public reporting
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 28 September differential review. Retained governed position: Section 3 of India's Code on Wages commenced on 21 November 2025 and prohibits gender discrimination in wages for the same or similar work and in recruitment, subject to statutory exceptions. It has no general headcount threshold and does not create a universal public employer pay-gap report.
Recommended next step
Review recruitment templates and wage-comparison controls for gender-inclusive application; confirm the appropriate central/state rules for the establishment.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
Apply the existing section 3 controls now; no universal pay-gap filing date asserted.
Tripartite fair-employment guidance active; Workplace Fairness Act enacted but not yet in force
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 28 September differential review. Retained governed position: Singapore's current employer baseline remains the applicable fair-employment and tripartite framework. The Workplace Fairness Act has been enacted and is targeted to take effect at end-2027. A future exemption for employers with fewer than 25 employees has been announced, but those future statutory provisions are not yet operative. No universal public pay-gap report applies.
Recommended next step
Review recruitment criteria and grievance handling now; keep an owner for the final commencement notice and implementation rules.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
End-2027 target remains subject to commencement arrangements; no universal report deadline.
100+ headcount equal-pay analysis framework active through 30 June 2032
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 28 September differential review. Retained governed position: The Swiss threshold is 100 employees by headcount, not full-time equivalents, and apprentices are excluded. Analysis, independent verification and employee communication are separate steps. A repeat after four years is required only when the prior analysis did not demonstrate equal pay; the statutory framework is time-limited through 30 June 2032.
Recommended next step
Record the last analysis result, workforce at the year start, independent-review evidence and next required date; do not copy another employer’s 2025–2027 sequence.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
Derive the date from first coverage or the last failed analysis; framework runs through 30 June 2032.
National 50+ reporting framework in force; transition depends on prior certification
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 28 September differential review. Retained governed position: Law 53/2026 and consolidated Law 150/2020 establish reporting every three years for entities averaging at least 50 staff annually. Regulation 946/2026 and regulator guidance were read on 13 September: submit job classification, sex-disaggregated pay analysis and a remediation plan where applicable. The earlier EEA-incorporation observation remains dated 3 September and was not reverified.
Recommended next step
Locate the latest certificate or confirmation and approval of the equality plan; calculate the entity’s deadline from that evidence.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
Prior certificate/confirmation: three years after the latest one. Neither held: before 1 March 2027.
Amended equal-pay and pay-equity claim process active; no universal public report
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 28 September differential review. Retained governed position: New Zealand's amended Equal Pay Act requires the current pay-equity claim eligibility and response process. A pay-equity claim generally concerns work performed by a workforce that is at least 70% female and has been predominantly female for at least ten consecutive years. The employer acknowledges a claim within five working days and generally decides whether it is arguable within 60 working days.
Recommended next step
Create a receipt-date log, acknowledgement template, union-notification privacy check and decision calendar; obtain legal review before discontinuing a claim.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
5 working days to acknowledge; 60 working days to decide. Extension: up to 20 working days for one employer, 80 for multiple employers, subject to the guidance conditions.
Job-category and equal-value pay framework active without a general headcount threshold
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 28 September differential review. Retained governed position: Law 30,709 requires salary-policy controls and job-category/function schedules supporting non-discriminatory remuneration. The official Congress explanation also requires informing workers of the salary policy. The previously stated 4 August 2026 Supreme Court development could not be substantiated and is withdrawn; it must not be relied on as legal evidence.
Recommended next step
Keep approved category/function schedules and evidence that workers received the salary policy. Obtain the actual judgment before using any case-law claim in a pay decision.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
Maintain the existing controls now; no new court-created deadline is asserted.
Same-work pay rule active; 10+ complaint procedure and 200+ role register
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 28 September differential review. Retained governed position: Chile's statutory rule addresses equal remuneration for the same work and should not be described as a general equal-value regime. Employers with 10 or more workers require the applicable internal complaint procedure with a written response within 30 days; employers with 200 or more workers must maintain the prescribed register of positions or functions. No universal public pay-gap report applies.
Recommended next step
Check the internal regulations and who receives a pay complaint; ensure the response explains the objective basis and is retained.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
Reasoned written response within 30 days of the complaint.
Equal-remuneration baseline; separate confidential social balance for more than 300 workers
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 28 September differential review. Retained governed position: The equal-remuneration baseline is separate from Law 25,877 articles 25–27. The latter require an annual confidential social balance for employers with more than 300 workers (301+), not 300 or more. Delivery to the relevant union is within 30 days of preparation, with a confidential copy to the labour authority.
Recommended next step
Recheck entities with exactly 300 workers. For covered employers, assign preparation, union delivery and confidential authority-copy responsibilities.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
Annual balance; union delivery within 30 days after preparation. Article 27 governs first application after reaching the statutory size.
The 27 September deep review found no newly enacted pay-transparency measure in the governed register. Practical movement: Dutch Bill 36949 is scheduled for plenary debate on 7 December 2026 and 11 January 2027.

EU baseline in force; national law must be checked
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 27 September differential review. Retained governed position: Directive (EU) 2023/970 sets the common EU framework for equal pay, recruitment transparency, worker information rights, employer reporting and enforcement. The transposition deadline passed on 7 June 2026, but employer duties must be read through each country's enacted law.

Act No. 76/2026 Coll. in force; transitional information rules apply
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 27 September differential review. Retained governed position: Act No. 76/2026 Coll. took effect on 7 June 2026. Section 6 separates information about an employee's own pay from sex-disaggregated category averages. Under section 18(2), category-average information is first provided for 2027. This does not create a separate 1 January commencement date for own-pay information.
Recommended next step
Check the 31 July pay-structure implementation evidence and preserve August–December payroll by equal-value category; start a two-month request-response log.

Legislative Decree 96/2026 in force; implementing arrangements require separate review
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 27 September differential review. Retained governed position: Legislative Decree 96/2026 was published on 1 June and took effect on 7 June 2026. Article 7 provides written category-average pay information within two months, with requests no more than once annually and annual notice of the right. The review covered the original decree; later amendments and implementing arrangements were not exhaustively audited.
Recommended next step
Prepare annual and hourly pay components, equal-value groupings and the worker-information response process; obtain the applicable reporting instructions before submission.

Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 27 September differential review. Retained governed position: Lithuania enacted a pay-transparency amendment package. Employer pay-system design, candidate information, equal-value grouping and Sodra data flows are an active implementation programme, with obligations and data changes staged across 2026-2028.

Government bill no. 944 deposited in the Senate; accelerated procedure, not enacted law
Finding
The official Senate dossier was re-read on 27 September. Bill no. 944 still shows only its 10 September deposit and first reading under the accelerated procedure; the dossier was last updated on 18 September and shows no adopted act or commencement.
Recommended next step

Timing / condition
Monitor Senate first reading and amendments now; no bill-based employer deadline applies before enactment.
Recruitment duties active; wider UC127 proposal remains a draft
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 27 September differential review. Retained governed position: Recruitment amendments apply from 24 December 2025: initial pay or range information, gender-neutral recruitment wording and a restriction on salary-history questions. The official government register separately lists wider proposal UC127 as a draft. This bounded review does not establish complete enacted transposition.
Recommended next step
Audit job advertisements and information sent before interviews; keep the wider reporting design marked as draft.
Suggested owner

Timing / condition
Recruitment duties already apply; Q4 2026 is a government planning date.
RD 902/2020 active; RD 723/2026 effective 5 October 2026; EU PTD completeness unverified
Finding
BOE was re-read on 27 September. No superseding act was confirmed. RD 902/2020 remains the binding equal-pay, remuneration-register, equal-value and applicable pay-audit layer. RD 723/2026 remains scheduled to take effect on 5 October 2026 as a separate written-employment-information layer that partially transposes Directive (EU) 2019/1152, not Directive (EU) 2023/970; Spain’s EU Pay Transparency completeness status therefore remains unverified.
Recommended next step
Maintain the RD 902/2020 remuneration register and applicable equality-plan pay audit; consult legal worker representatives at least ten days before creating or changing the register and retain the consultation evidence; confirm collective-agreement and autonomous-community effects locally. In parallel, map each RD 723/2026 item to the offer/contract information pack, payroll dictionary and delivery log, and test pre-start delivery, same-day change notices and the algorithmic-pay explanation.

Government bill awaits both chambers; start date conditional
Finding
Bill 36949 remains pending. The official Tweede Kamer record now gives two concrete plenary milestones: 7 December 2026 and 11 January 2027. Both chambers must still approve the bill; no enacted national commencement was confirmed.
Recommended next step

Existing biennial pay-structure report for covered 50+ employers; full transposition not confirmed
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 27 September differential review. Retained governed position: Existing Belgian guidance requires a pay-structure analysis every two financial years for covered employers averaging at least 50 workers: abbreviated model for 50–99, full model from 100. The mediator is optional.
Recommended next step
Confirm the statutory headcount calculation and use the correct model; schedule presentation to the works council or trade-union delegation.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
Biennial reporting cycle; derive the next delivery from the employer’s financial years and consultation timetable.
Renegotiation and preparation documented; final legislation not verified

8 measures notified; economy-wide completeness not established
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 27 September differential review.

L445/2026 in Senate committees; procedural dates are not employer deadlines
Finding
The official Senate record was re-read on 27 September. L445/2026 remains in permanent committees. The 60-day tacit-adoption period ends on 17 October 2026; this is a parliamentary milestone and does not activate an employer duty.

Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 27 September differential review. Retained governed position: On 11 September the ministry announced planned pay-transparency transposition by the end of 2026. This adds a dated national plan to the previous notification-only brief; enactment is not established.

Retained governed position: The ministry confirms amendments effective 13 July 2026: written pay or range information before the first interview, a salary-history ban, the right to discuss one's own pay and equal pay for the same or equivalent work absent objective gender-neutral justification. Current ministry guidance distinguishes wider Directive duties not yet transposed. Direct statutory article-by-article verification was limited by the legal-register page.
Recommended next step
Check pay information provided before interviews and salary-history questions; keep wider reporting fields in preparation.

Timing / condition
Current partial duties apply now; no new full-package commencement confirmed.
Law 5316/2026 published; confirm applicable commencement provisions
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 27 September differential review. Retained governed position: The parliamentary record confirms Law 5316/2026, voted on 2 July and published in Gazette 105 A on 6 July 2026. EUR-Lex records notification on 23 July with a national declaration of completion. These publication and notification records do not independently establish every operative commencement or reporting clause, and national notification is not a Commission conformity assessment.
Recommended next step
Have local counsel identify the applicable articles and filing instructions for each legal entity before setting its deadline.
Suggested owner

Timing / condition
Entity-specific commencement and filing date still require confirmation.
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 27 September differential review. Retained governed position: Malta published Legal Notice 173/2026 on 5 June 2026. Regulation 6 requires a written information response within eight days; requests in 2026 concern 2026 pay. Publication is established, but this review did not independently establish a commencement clause or exhaustively check later amendments.
Recommended next step
Preserve the full 2026 payroll period and obtain written filing instructions resolving regulation 9(5) before submission.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
First reports by 7 June 2027 / 7 June 2031; resolve the additional timing clause locally.
Parliamentary discussion documented; enacted transposition not verified
Finding
The official committee record documents discussion and a request concerning the Directive. No implementing bill, enacted act or employer threshold was confirmed in accessible official records today.

Timing / condition
Recheck the named official source on 28 September 2026 or earlier if a final act is published.
Great Britain 250+ gender-pay-gap reporting active
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 27 September differential review. Retained governed position: The statutory regime described here covers England, Scotland and Wales, not the whole United Kingdom as one undifferentiated rule. Covered employers with 250 or more relevant employees report annually; private and voluntary-sector employers use a 5 April snapshot and publish by 4 April of the following year, while public authorities generally use 31 March and publish by 30 March.
Recommended next step
Keep the mandatory report calendar and prepare a separate action plan with owners, measurable actions and review dates. Label its present voluntary status.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
Current snapshot cycle: 30 March 2027 for covered public bodies; 4 April 2027 for private/voluntary employers.
Federal equal-pay baseline plus state and local transparency rules
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 27 September differential review. Retained governed position: The federal Equal Pay Act does not use an EU-style 100-worker reporting threshold. Title VII generally applies from 15 employees. EEO-1 demographic reporting generally covers employers with 100 or more employees and qualifying federal contractors with 50 or more employees and a qualifying contract; it is not a universal pay-gap report.
Recommended next step
Check recruiter and agency adverts, California remote eligibility, and payroll/labour-contractor report scope; retain the certified submission receipt.
Suggested owner

Timing / condition
California 2025-data deadline was 13 May 2026: check any missing receipt now. Pay scale belongs in each covered posting.
WGEA 100+ reporting active; 500+ target duties also apply
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 27 September differential review. Retained governed position: Relevant Australian employers with 100 or more employees report annually to WGEA. A continuing-employer rule can keep an employer in scope while it remains at 80 or more employees, and employers with 500 or more employees have additional gender-equality target duties.
Recommended next step
Keep CEO approval, governing-body delivery evidence and a three-target register with baselines, owners and the entity’s selection date.
Suggested owner
CEO, HR reporting lead and governing body
Timing / condition
Standard reporting window 1 April–31 May; target period runs three years from selection. Confirm the entity’s portal cycle.
Federal 10+ proactive pay equity and separate 100+ LEEP reporting active
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 27 September differential review. Retained governed position: In federally regulated Canada, the Pay Equity Act generally applies from 10 employees and requires a proactive pay-equity process. The Legislated Employment Equity Program is a separate annual reporting layer generally for covered private-sector employers with 100 or more employees; provincial regimes must be assessed separately.
Recommended next step
Record why the entity is federally regulated, the date it became subject, the plan’s due date and the next five-year update; keep LEEP separate.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
Entity-specific three- and five-year plan clocks; verify annual-statement and LEEP dates separately.
100+ semi-annual reporting active; sixth-report availability not confirmed
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 27 September differential review. Retained governed position: Law 14,611/2023 requires semi-annual transparency reporting by private legal entities with 100+ employees, with anonymisation and mitigation measures. The sixth-report data-update window ran from 3 to 31 August 2026. As of the 11 September public-source review, MTE's main page still referred to the fifth report; availability of the sixth report in an authenticated employer account was not verified.
Recommended next step
Check the employer’s official portal for its report, validate the figures and prepare the required publication; retain evidence of availability and the published report.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
September publication cycle; a precise availability date remains unverified.
Gender wage-gap disclosure applies to 101+ regular workers from 1 April 2026
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 27 September differential review. Retained governed position: From 1 April 2026, employers with 101+ regular workers must disclose the gender wage gap and the proportion of women in management. Employers with 101–300 add at least one other required indicator; 301+ add at least one from each of the two designated categories. The first covered financial year ends on or after 1 April 2026; publication is generally around three months after the next financial year begins.
Recommended next step
Prepare both indicators and the size-appropriate additional item(s). Record the first financial year ending on/after 1 April 2026 and the publication date.
Suggested owner
HR and payroll lead
Timing / condition
Generally about three months after the following financial year begins. A June 2026 year-end points to approximately September 2026, not a universal 30 September deadline.
Equal-value pay applies under the Act; the old under-five-worker exemption was deleted
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 27 September differential review. Retained governed position: Article 8 of the Equal Employment Opportunity and Work-Family Balance Assistance Act requires equal pay for work of equal value within the same business. The former under-five-worker exception in Enforcement Decree article 2(2) was deleted in 2018. Check the remaining specific exceptions, including cohabiting-relative-only businesses and domestic workers, against the authoritative Korean text.
Recommended next step
Review small establishments previously excluded by the tracker. Compare actual skill, effort, responsibility and working conditions within the business.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
Correct scope now; no universal public-report filing date follows from article 8.
Annual reporting active for 519+ employers and specified entities
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 27 September differential review. Retained governed position: Israel's Equal Pay law requires annual gender-pay-gap analysis and publication for employers with more than 518 employees and for specified bodies covered by the amendment. Coverage is not a universal private-employer rule and must be tested by entity type. The current-year deadline and any extension remain unverified in this review.
Recommended next step
Obtain the Commission’s current notice for the covered year before deciding whether the report is late; preserve internal and public reports with privacy controls.

2026 EEA2/EEA4 reporting open for designated employers
Finding
The official 2026 Employment Equity portal and Department guidance were re-read on 27 September. EEA2 and EEA4 reporting remains open for designated employers. Manual and posted reports are not accepted after 1 October 2026; online submission remains open until 15 January 2027 at 23:59. CEO or accounting-officer approval and the acknowledgement package remain required evidence. No superseding rule was confirmed.
Recommended next step

Code on Wages section 3 in force; no universal public reporting
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 27 September differential review. Retained governed position: Section 3 of India's Code on Wages commenced on 21 November 2025 and prohibits gender discrimination in wages for the same or similar work and in recruitment, subject to statutory exceptions. It has no general headcount threshold and does not create a universal public employer pay-gap report.
Recommended next step
Review recruitment templates and wage-comparison controls for gender-inclusive application; confirm the appropriate central/state rules for the establishment.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
Apply the existing section 3 controls now; no universal pay-gap filing date asserted.
Tripartite fair-employment guidance active; Workplace Fairness Act enacted but not yet in force
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 27 September differential review. Retained governed position: Singapore's current employer baseline remains the applicable fair-employment and tripartite framework. The Workplace Fairness Act has been enacted and is targeted to take effect at end-2027. A future exemption for employers with fewer than 25 employees has been announced, but those future statutory provisions are not yet operative. No universal public pay-gap report applies.
Recommended next step
Review recruitment criteria and grievance handling now; keep an owner for the final commencement notice and implementation rules.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
End-2027 target remains subject to commencement arrangements; no universal report deadline.
100+ headcount equal-pay analysis framework active through 30 June 2032
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 27 September differential review. Retained governed position: The Swiss threshold is 100 employees by headcount, not full-time equivalents, and apprentices are excluded. Analysis, independent verification and employee communication are separate steps. A repeat after four years is required only when the prior analysis did not demonstrate equal pay; the statutory framework is time-limited through 30 June 2032.
Recommended next step
Record the last analysis result, workforce at the year start, independent-review evidence and next required date; do not copy another employer’s 2025–2027 sequence.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
Derive the date from first coverage or the last failed analysis; framework runs through 30 June 2032.
National 50+ reporting framework in force; transition depends on prior certification
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 27 September differential review. Retained governed position: Law 53/2026 and consolidated Law 150/2020 establish reporting every three years for entities averaging at least 50 staff annually. Regulation 946/2026 and regulator guidance were read on 13 September: submit job classification, sex-disaggregated pay analysis and a remediation plan where applicable. The earlier EEA-incorporation observation remains dated 3 September and was not reverified.
Recommended next step
Locate the latest certificate or confirmation and approval of the equality plan; calculate the entity’s deadline from that evidence.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
Prior certificate/confirmation: three years after the latest one. Neither held: before 1 March 2027.
Amended equal-pay and pay-equity claim process active; no universal public report
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 27 September differential review. Retained governed position: New Zealand's amended Equal Pay Act requires the current pay-equity claim eligibility and response process. A pay-equity claim generally concerns work performed by a workforce that is at least 70% female and has been predominantly female for at least ten consecutive years. The employer acknowledges a claim within five working days and generally decides whether it is arguable within 60 working days.
Recommended next step
Create a receipt-date log, acknowledgement template, union-notification privacy check and decision calendar; obtain legal review before discontinuing a claim.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
5 working days to acknowledge; 60 working days to decide. Extension: up to 20 working days for one employer, 80 for multiple employers, subject to the guidance conditions.
Job-category and equal-value pay framework active without a general headcount threshold
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 27 September differential review. Retained governed position: Law 30,709 requires salary-policy controls and job-category/function schedules supporting non-discriminatory remuneration. The official Congress explanation also requires informing workers of the salary policy. The previously stated 4 August 2026 Supreme Court development could not be substantiated and is withdrawn; it must not be relied on as legal evidence.
Recommended next step
Keep approved category/function schedules and evidence that workers received the salary policy. Obtain the actual judgment before using any case-law claim in a pay decision.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
Maintain the existing controls now; no new court-created deadline is asserted.
Same-work pay rule active; 10+ complaint procedure and 200+ role register
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 27 September differential review. Retained governed position: Chile's statutory rule addresses equal remuneration for the same work and should not be described as a general equal-value regime. Employers with 10 or more workers require the applicable internal complaint procedure with a written response within 30 days; employers with 200 or more workers must maintain the prescribed register of positions or functions. No universal public pay-gap report applies.
Recommended next step
Check the internal regulations and who receives a pay complaint; ensure the response explains the objective basis and is retained.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
Reasoned written response within 30 days of the complaint.
Equal-remuneration baseline; separate confidential social balance for more than 300 workers
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 27 September differential review. Retained governed position: The equal-remuneration baseline is separate from Law 25,877 articles 25–27. The latter require an annual confidential social balance for employers with more than 300 workers (301+), not 300 or more. Delivery to the relevant union is within 30 days of preparation, with a confidential copy to the labour authority.
Recommended next step
Recheck entities with exactly 300 workers. For covered employers, assign preparation, union delivery and confidential authority-copy responsibilities.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
Annual balance; union delivery within 30 days after preparation. Article 27 governs first application after reaching the statutory size.
No superseding enacted pay-transparency change was confirmed on 26 September. The operational positions and deadlines remain in force as published; the most important near-term control remains Spain’s RD 723/2026 written-information workflow for 5 October. Finland HE 129/2026 and France bill 944 remain pending, while Romania L445/2026 remains in Senate committees with a 17 October parliamentary milestone rather than an employer deadline.

EU baseline in force; national law must be checked
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 26 September differential review. Retained governed position: Directive (EU) 2023/970 sets the common EU framework for equal pay, recruitment transparency, worker information rights, employer reporting and enforcement. The transposition deadline passed on 7 June 2026, but employer duties must be read through each country's enacted law.

Act No. 76/2026 Coll. in force; transitional information rules apply
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 26 September differential review. Retained governed position: Act No. 76/2026 Coll. took effect on 7 June 2026. Section 6 separates information about an employee's own pay from sex-disaggregated category averages. Under section 18(2), category-average information is first provided for 2027. This does not create a separate 1 January commencement date for own-pay information.
Recommended next step
Check the 31 July pay-structure implementation evidence and preserve August–December payroll by equal-value category; start a two-month request-response log.

Legislative Decree 96/2026 in force; implementing arrangements require separate review
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 26 September differential review. Retained governed position: Legislative Decree 96/2026 was published on 1 June and took effect on 7 June 2026. Article 7 provides written category-average pay information within two months, with requests no more than once annually and annual notice of the right. The review covered the original decree; later amendments and implementing arrangements were not exhaustively audited.
Recommended next step
Prepare annual and hourly pay components, equal-value groupings and the worker-information response process; obtain the applicable reporting instructions before submission.

Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 26 September differential review. Retained governed position: Lithuania enacted a pay-transparency amendment package. Employer pay-system design, candidate information, equal-value grouping and Sodra data flows are an active implementation programme, with obligations and data changes staged across 2026-2028.

Government bill no. 944 deposited in the Senate; accelerated procedure, not enacted law
Finding
The official Senate dossier was re-read on 26 September. Bill no. 944 still shows only its 10 September deposit and first reading under the accelerated procedure; the dossier was last updated on 18 September and shows no adopted act or commencement.
Recommended next step
Keep the existing equality-index workflow active. Map payroll, equal-value categories and recruitment fields to the proposal, but activate new duties only after final enactment and decree review.
Suggested owner
HR lead with French employment counsel
Timing / condition
Monitor Senate first reading and amendments now; no bill-based employer deadline applies before enactment.
Preparatory government work and opposition motion documented
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 26 September differential review. Retained governed position: The government answer reported on 16 July 2026 describes preparatory transposition work. A Die Linke motion reported on 9 September calls for legislation; it is an opposition motion, not a government bill or enacted act. The cited review does not verify comprehensive enacted transposition.
Recommended next step
Keep the existing German information and equal-pay controls; prepare an implementation register that only activates new duties after an enacted text is confirmed.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
Prepare now; confirm national commencement before applying a new deadline.
Recruitment duties active; wider UC127 proposal remains a draft
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 26 September differential review. Retained governed position: Recruitment amendments apply from 24 December 2025: initial pay or range information, gender-neutral recruitment wording and a restriction on salary-history questions. The official government register separately lists wider proposal UC127 as a draft. This bounded review does not establish complete enacted transposition.
Recommended next step
Audit job advertisements and information sent before interviews; keep the wider reporting design marked as draft.
Suggested owner

Timing / condition
Recruitment duties already apply; Q4 2026 is a government planning date.
RD 902/2020 active; RD 723/2026 effective 5 October 2026; EU PTD completeness unverified
Finding
BOE was re-read on 26 September. No superseding act was confirmed. RD 902/2020 remains the binding equal-pay, remuneration-register, equal-value and applicable pay-audit layer. RD 723/2026 remains scheduled to take effect on 5 October 2026 as a separate written-employment-information layer that partially transposes Directive (EU) 2019/1152, not Directive (EU) 2023/970; Spain’s EU Pay Transparency completeness status therefore remains unverified.
Recommended next step
Maintain the RD 902/2020 remuneration register and applicable equality-plan pay audit; consult legal worker representatives at least ten days before creating or changing the register and retain the consultation evidence; confirm collective-agreement and autonomous-community effects locally. In parallel, map each RD 723/2026 item to the offer/contract information pack, payroll dictionary and delivery log, and test pre-start delivery, same-day change notices and the algorithmic-pay explanation.

Government bill awaits both chambers; start date conditional
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 26 September differential review. Retained governed position: The Dutch government page states that both parliamentary chambers still need to approve Bill 36949. The planned 1 January 2027 start remains conditional on that legislative process and is not a confirmed enacted effective date.
Recommended next step

Existing biennial pay-structure report for covered 50+ employers; full transposition not confirmed
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 26 September differential review. Retained governed position: Existing Belgian guidance requires a pay-structure analysis every two financial years for covered employers averaging at least 50 workers: abbreviated model for 50–99, full model from 100. The mediator is optional.
Recommended next step
Confirm the statutory headcount calculation and use the correct model; schedule presentation to the works council or trade-union delegation.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
Biennial reporting cycle; derive the next delivery from the employer’s financial years and consultation timetable.
Renegotiation and preparation documented; final legislation not verified
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 26 September differential review. Retained governed position: The government's no-bill and renegotiation announcement was on 26 March 2026. The 8 June announcement concerned resumed preparation and promotional work through the Equality Ombudsman. Guidance updated on 17 June said legislation was incomplete. These dated records do not establish an exhaustive September legislative status.
Recommended next step
Maintain the annual pay-survey workflow and documented equal-value grouping; keep draft reporting fields separate.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
Continue the existing annual cycle; no new enacted commencement date confirmed here.
Ministerial answer clarifies proposed reporting; not enacted law
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 26 September differential review. Retained governed position: The ministerial answer dated 27 August 2026 describes proposed reporting for certain employers with 50–99 workers where the same function includes at least eight men and eight women. This is not blanket coverage of every employer with 50+ workers, and enactment is not established by the answer.
Recommended next step
Keep a separate scenario for the proposed threshold; do not merge it into the current mandatory calendar.
Suggested owner

Timing / condition
The reviewed 2031 proposal is conditional; confirm final law before implementation.
8 measures notified; economy-wide completeness not established
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 26 September differential review. Retained governed position: EUR-Lex listed eight Austrian measures, but the notification set includes limited or public-sector material and does not establish complete economy-wide transposition. Existing salary-range advertising and equality duties continue.
Recommended next step
Prepare the anonymised report, but obtain the current section 63 scope before deciding coverage for exactly 150 workers.

Covered reports go to worker representatives in Q1 following the reporting year; exact 150-worker boundary remains open.
Government-approved transposition proposal; enactment not verified
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 26 September differential review. Retained governed position: The Ministry of Labour page, updated on 31 August 2026, confirms government approval of the transposition proposal. The proposal is a substantive legislative step, but government approval does not establish enacted law or a general effective date.
Recommended next step
Build a gap between current payroll data and the proposed equal-value reporting fields; retain proposal labels in management papers.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
2028 for 150+ and 2031 for 100–149 remain proposed first-report years.
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 26 September differential review. Retained governed position: The official Labour Code text inspected on 13 September 2026 retains section 12 on equal treatment in remuneration and assessment of equal-value work; the displayed consolidation is dated 28 February 2025. This review does not verify September transposition. The autumn programme remained inaccessible behind CAPTCHA. The separate 11 September EUR-Lex observation of zero notified Hungarian measures is unchanged and does not prove that domestic legislation or proposals are absent.
Recommended next step
Use current equal-treatment controls and ask local counsel for the enacted national text before activating a new reporting date.
Existing equal-pay law applies; partial-transposition consultation draft
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 26 September differential review. Retained governed position: BTE Separata 26/2026 of 5 August contains an official partial-transposition draft whose 20-day consultation period has elapsed. It proposes pre-contract pay information, a salary-history ban, information rights and reporting for employers with 50+ workers. Existing Law 60/2018 remains separate from these proposals.
Recommended next step
Continue existing equal-pay duties and keep a draft-to-final comparison before changing employer thresholds or reporting schedules.
Suggested owner

Timing / condition
Prepare now; confirm national commencement before applying a new deadline.
Existing 50+ gender-pay-gap reporting active; current full-transposition status not verified
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 26 September differential review. Retained governed position: Existing Irish gender-pay-gap reporting remains separate from full Directive transposition. In the official 16 June 2026 answer, the Minister confirmed delayed full transposition and continuing annual publication; central-portal filing was described as following an amendment. The 13 September review read that answer, the consolidation dated 31 May 2025 and the original draft Heads 4 and 5. September enactment and mandatory portal commencement remain unverified.
Recommended next step
Continue the existing gender-pay-gap reporting workflow and keep Directive-specific recruitment, worker-request and equal-value changes in a controlled pending-law plan.
Suggested owner

Timing / condition
Monitor the Oireachtas and Irish Statute Book continuously; do not treat the updated consolidation date as transposition.
L445/2026 in Senate committees; procedural dates are not employer deadlines
Finding
The official Senate record was re-read on 26 September. L445/2026 remains in permanent committees. The 60-day tacit-adoption period ends on 17 October 2026; this is a parliamentary milestone and does not activate an employer duty.
Recommended next step
Keep L445/2026 in the draft register, prepare the data model, and wait for final enactment and commencement before activating new thresholds or deadlines.
Suggested owner
Romania HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition

Consultation closed; final enactment not established by the record
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 26 September differential review. Retained governed position: Official consultation 12386 ran from 19 May to 18 June 2026 and is inactive. Results are dated 11 August; the final Council of Ministers act field was blank in the reviewed record. This supports a completion-proposal update, not a claim of enacted comprehensive transposition.

No superseding official act was confirmed in the 26 September differential review. Retained governed position: The ministry provides job-evaluation models for small, medium and large enterprises, including guidance dated 9 September 2026. The models assess the job rather than the person. Labour Act alignment is described as in progress; preparatory guidance is not evidence that transposition is already in force.
Recommended next step
Select the model matching employer size and test a small set of real job descriptions with documented factor evidence.

Preparation can begin now; binding dates require the final law.
Ministry plans transposition by end-2026; final enactment not verified
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 26 September differential review. Retained governed position: On 11 September the ministry announced planned pay-transparency transposition by the end of 2026. This adds a dated national plan to the previous notification-only brief; enactment is not established.
Recommended next step
Assign a Slovenian implementation owner and prepare job categories and payroll inputs while monitoring Uradni list for the final act.

End of 2026 is the ministry’s planning target, not an employer deadline.
Partial pay-transparency duties active; broader package not transposed in ministry guidance
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 26 September differential review. Retained governed position: The ministry confirms amendments effective 13 July 2026: written pay or range information before the first interview, a salary-history ban, the right to discuss one's own pay and equal pay for the same or equivalent work absent objective gender-neutral justification. Current ministry guidance distinguishes wider Directive duties not yet transposed. Direct statutory article-by-article verification was limited by the legal-register page.
Recommended next step
Check pay information provided before interviews and salary-history questions; keep wider reporting fields in preparation.
Suggested owner

Timing / condition
Current partial duties apply now; no new full-package commencement confirmed.
TAP 26-TA-700 remains a draft in the reviewed record
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 26 September differential review. Retained governed position: The TAP record documents consultation from 26 March to 9 April, coordination from 27 June to 10 July and opinions on 14 July 2026. The reviewed draft is a planning input; its thresholds and reporting dates are not presented as binding employer duties.
Recommended next step
Obtain the current TAP history and final gazette publication before adopting the draft reporting schedule.

Timing / condition
Draft 2027/2031 dates are not confirmed employer deadlines.
Law 5316/2026 published; confirm applicable commencement provisions
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 26 September differential review. Retained governed position: The parliamentary record confirms Law 5316/2026, voted on 2 July and published in Gazette 105 A on 6 July 2026. EUR-Lex records notification on 23 July with a national declaration of completion. These publication and notification records do not independently establish every operative commencement or reporting clause, and national notification is not a Commission conformity assessment.
Recommended next step
Have local counsel identify the applicable articles and filing instructions for each legal entity before setting its deadline.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
Entity-specific commencement and filing date still require confirmation.
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 26 September differential review. Retained governed position: The official consultation was published on 5 November 2025 and closed on 4 December 2025. Results and a revised bill are available. Article 36 proposes commencement on future Gazette publication; this clause does not establish that publication or commencement has occurred.
Recommended next step
Use the proposal to prepare data; verify the House and Gazette record before changing contractual information or statutory dates.
Suggested owner

Timing / condition
Consultation is no longer open; no final commencement verified in this source.
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 26 September differential review. Retained governed position: Malta published Legal Notice 173/2026 on 5 June 2026. Regulation 6 requires a written information response within eight days; requests in 2026 concern 2026 pay. Publication is established, but this review did not independently establish a commencement clause or exhaustively check later amendments.
Recommended next step
Preserve the full 2026 payroll period and obtain written filing instructions resolving regulation 9(5) before submission.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
First reports by 7 June 2027 / 7 June 2031; resolve the additional timing clause locally.
Parliamentary discussion documented; enacted transposition not verified
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 26 September differential review. Retained governed position: The Chamber of Deputies records Labour Committee discussion on 24 June 2026. The cited review does not verify comprehensive enacted transposition, but the committee record means a categorical pre-draft or no-bill description is not justified. The review is not an exhaustive search for later legislation.
Recommended next step
Prepare equal-value categories and a source-backed legal change register; await the final Legilux text for new obligations.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
Prepare now; confirm national commencement before applying a new deadline.
Great Britain 250+ gender-pay-gap reporting active
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 26 September differential review. Retained governed position: The statutory regime described here covers England, Scotland and Wales, not the whole United Kingdom as one undifferentiated rule. Covered employers with 250 or more relevant employees report annually; private and voluntary-sector employers use a 5 April snapshot and publish by 4 April of the following year, while public authorities generally use 31 March and publish by 30 March.
Recommended next step
Keep the mandatory report calendar and prepare a separate action plan with owners, measurable actions and review dates. Label its present voluntary status.
Suggested owner

Timing / condition
Current snapshot cycle: 30 March 2027 for covered public bodies; 4 April 2027 for private/voluntary employers.
Federal equal-pay baseline plus state and local transparency rules
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 26 September differential review. Retained governed position: The federal Equal Pay Act does not use an EU-style 100-worker reporting threshold. Title VII generally applies from 15 employees. EEO-1 demographic reporting generally covers employers with 100 or more employees and qualifying federal contractors with 50 or more employees and a qualifying contract; it is not a universal pay-gap report.
Recommended next step
Check recruiter and agency adverts, California remote eligibility, and payroll/labour-contractor report scope; retain the certified submission receipt.
Suggested owner

Timing / condition
California 2025-data deadline was 13 May 2026: check any missing receipt now. Pay scale belongs in each covered posting.
WGEA 100+ reporting active; 500+ target duties also apply
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 26 September differential review. Retained governed position: Relevant Australian employers with 100 or more employees report annually to WGEA. A continuing-employer rule can keep an employer in scope while it remains at 80 or more employees, and employers with 500 or more employees have additional gender-equality target duties.
Recommended next step
Keep CEO approval, governing-body delivery evidence and a three-target register with baselines, owners and the entity’s selection date.
Suggested owner
CEO, HR reporting lead and governing body
Timing / condition
Standard reporting window 1 April–31 May; target period runs three years from selection. Confirm the entity’s portal cycle.
Federal 10+ proactive pay equity and separate 100+ LEEP reporting active
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 26 September differential review. Retained governed position: In federally regulated Canada, the Pay Equity Act generally applies from 10 employees and requires a proactive pay-equity process. The Legislated Employment Equity Program is a separate annual reporting layer generally for covered private-sector employers with 100 or more employees; provincial regimes must be assessed separately.
Recommended next step
Record why the entity is federally regulated, the date it became subject, the plan’s due date and the next five-year update; keep LEEP separate.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
Entity-specific three- and five-year plan clocks; verify annual-statement and LEEP dates separately.
100+ semi-annual reporting active; sixth-report availability not confirmed
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 26 September differential review. Retained governed position: Law 14,611/2023 requires semi-annual transparency reporting by private legal entities with 100+ employees, with anonymisation and mitigation measures. The sixth-report data-update window ran from 3 to 31 August 2026. As of the 11 September public-source review, MTE's main page still referred to the fifth report; availability of the sixth report in an authenticated employer account was not verified.
Recommended next step
Check the employer’s official portal for its report, validate the figures and prepare the required publication; retain evidence of availability and the published report.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
September publication cycle; a precise availability date remains unverified.
Gender wage-gap disclosure applies to 101+ regular workers from 1 April 2026
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 26 September differential review. Retained governed position: From 1 April 2026, employers with 101+ regular workers must disclose the gender wage gap and the proportion of women in management. Employers with 101–300 add at least one other required indicator; 301+ add at least one from each of the two designated categories. The first covered financial year ends on or after 1 April 2026; publication is generally around three months after the next financial year begins.
Recommended next step
Prepare both indicators and the size-appropriate additional item(s). Record the first financial year ending on/after 1 April 2026 and the publication date.
Suggested owner
HR and payroll lead
Timing / condition
Generally about three months after the following financial year begins. A June 2026 year-end points to approximately September 2026, not a universal 30 September deadline.
Equal-value pay applies under the Act; the old under-five-worker exemption was deleted
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 26 September differential review. Retained governed position: Article 8 of the Equal Employment Opportunity and Work-Family Balance Assistance Act requires equal pay for work of equal value within the same business. The former under-five-worker exception in Enforcement Decree article 2(2) was deleted in 2018. Check the remaining specific exceptions, including cohabiting-relative-only businesses and domestic workers, against the authoritative Korean text.
Recommended next step
Review small establishments previously excluded by the tracker. Compare actual skill, effort, responsibility and working conditions within the business.
Suggested owner

Timing / condition
Correct scope now; no universal public-report filing date follows from article 8.
Annual reporting active for 519+ employers and specified entities
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 26 September differential review. Retained governed position: Israel's Equal Pay law requires annual gender-pay-gap analysis and publication for employers with more than 518 employees and for specified bodies covered by the amendment. Coverage is not a universal private-employer rule and must be tested by entity type. The current-year deadline and any extension remain unverified in this review.
Recommended next step
Obtain the Commission’s current notice for the covered year before deciding whether the report is late; preserve internal and public reports with privacy controls.

2026 EEA2/EEA4 reporting open for designated employers
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 26 September differential review. Retained governed position: The live Department portal confirms the 2026 EEA2/EEA4 cycle is open. Listed designated employers include those with 50+ employees, organs of state and employers with 1–49 employees designated by collective agreement. This is a fresh operational review; the 2025 regulations were not reread successfully in this pass.

Code on Wages section 3 in force; no universal public reporting
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 26 September differential review. Retained governed position: Section 3 of India's Code on Wages commenced on 21 November 2025 and prohibits gender discrimination in wages for the same or similar work and in recruitment, subject to statutory exceptions. It has no general headcount threshold and does not create a universal public employer pay-gap report.
Recommended next step
Review recruitment templates and wage-comparison controls for gender-inclusive application; confirm the appropriate central/state rules for the establishment.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
Apply the existing section 3 controls now; no universal pay-gap filing date asserted.
Tripartite fair-employment guidance active; Workplace Fairness Act enacted but not yet in force
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 26 September differential review. Retained governed position: Singapore's current employer baseline remains the applicable fair-employment and tripartite framework. The Workplace Fairness Act has been enacted and is targeted to take effect at end-2027. A future exemption for employers with fewer than 25 employees has been announced, but those future statutory provisions are not yet operative. No universal public pay-gap report applies.
Recommended next step
Review recruitment criteria and grievance handling now; keep an owner for the final commencement notice and implementation rules.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
End-2027 target remains subject to commencement arrangements; no universal report deadline.
100+ headcount equal-pay analysis framework active through 30 June 2032
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 26 September differential review. Retained governed position: The Swiss threshold is 100 employees by headcount, not full-time equivalents, and apprentices are excluded. Analysis, independent verification and employee communication are separate steps. A repeat after four years is required only when the prior analysis did not demonstrate equal pay; the statutory framework is time-limited through 30 June 2032.
Recommended next step
Record the last analysis result, workforce at the year start, independent-review evidence and next required date; do not copy another employer’s 2025–2027 sequence.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
Derive the date from first coverage or the last failed analysis; framework runs through 30 June 2032.
National 50+ reporting framework in force; transition depends on prior certification
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 26 September differential review. Retained governed position: Law 53/2026 and consolidated Law 150/2020 establish reporting every three years for entities averaging at least 50 staff annually. Regulation 946/2026 and regulator guidance were read on 13 September: submit job classification, sex-disaggregated pay analysis and a remediation plan where applicable. The earlier EEA-incorporation observation remains dated 3 September and was not reverified.
Recommended next step
Locate the latest certificate or confirmation and approval of the equality plan; calculate the entity’s deadline from that evidence.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
Prior certificate/confirmation: three years after the latest one. Neither held: before 1 March 2027.
Amended equal-pay and pay-equity claim process active; no universal public report
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 26 September differential review. Retained governed position: New Zealand's amended Equal Pay Act requires the current pay-equity claim eligibility and response process. A pay-equity claim generally concerns work performed by a workforce that is at least 70% female and has been predominantly female for at least ten consecutive years. The employer acknowledges a claim within five working days and generally decides whether it is arguable within 60 working days.
Recommended next step
Create a receipt-date log, acknowledgement template, union-notification privacy check and decision calendar; obtain legal review before discontinuing a claim.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
5 working days to acknowledge; 60 working days to decide. Extension: up to 20 working days for one employer, 80 for multiple employers, subject to the guidance conditions.
Job-category and equal-value pay framework active without a general headcount threshold
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 26 September differential review. Retained governed position: Law 30,709 requires salary-policy controls and job-category/function schedules supporting non-discriminatory remuneration. The official Congress explanation also requires informing workers of the salary policy. The previously stated 4 August 2026 Supreme Court development could not be substantiated and is withdrawn; it must not be relied on as legal evidence.
Recommended next step
Keep approved category/function schedules and evidence that workers received the salary policy. Obtain the actual judgment before using any case-law claim in a pay decision.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
Maintain the existing controls now; no new court-created deadline is asserted.
Same-work pay rule active; 10+ complaint procedure and 200+ role register
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 26 September differential review. Retained governed position: Chile's statutory rule addresses equal remuneration for the same work and should not be described as a general equal-value regime. Employers with 10 or more workers require the applicable internal complaint procedure with a written response within 30 days; employers with 200 or more workers must maintain the prescribed register of positions or functions. No universal public pay-gap report applies.
Recommended next step
Check the internal regulations and who receives a pay complaint; ensure the response explains the objective basis and is retained.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
Reasoned written response within 30 days of the complaint.
Equal-remuneration baseline; separate confidential social balance for more than 300 workers
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 26 September differential review. Retained governed position: The equal-remuneration baseline is separate from Law 25,877 articles 25–27. The latter require an annual confidential social balance for employers with more than 300 workers (301+), not 300 or more. Delivery to the relevant union is within 30 days of preparation, with a confidential copy to the labour authority.
Recommended next step
Recheck entities with exactly 300 workers. For covered employers, assign preparation, union delivery and confidential authority-copy responsibilities.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
Annual balance; union delivery within 30 days after preparation. Article 27 governs first application after reaching the statutory size.
Spain follow-up correction: Royal Decree 723/2026 is enacted and takes effect on 5 October 2026 as a complementary written-employment-information layer. It partially transposes Directive (EU) 2019/1152, not Directive (EU) 2023/970; Spain's EU Pay Transparency completeness status remains unchanged. No superseding enacted change was confirmed for the other tracked jurisdictions.

Act No. 76/2026 Coll. in force; transitional information rules apply
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 25 September differential review. Retained governed position: Act No. 76/2026 Coll. took effect on 7 June 2026. Section 6 separates information about an employee's own pay from sex-disaggregated category averages. Under section 18(2), category-average information is first provided for 2027. This does not create a separate 1 January commencement date for own-pay information.

Legislative Decree 96/2026 in force; implementing arrangements require separate review
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 25 September differential review. Retained governed position: Legislative Decree 96/2026 was published on 1 June and took effect on 7 June 2026. Article 7 provides written category-average pay information within two months, with requests no more than once annually and annual notice of the right. The review covered the original decree; later amendments and implementing arrangements were not exhaustively audited.

Preparatory government work and opposition motion documented
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 25 September differential review. Retained governed position: The government answer reported on 16 July 2026 describes preparatory transposition work. A Die Linke motion reported on 9 September calls for legislation; it is an opposition motion, not a government bill or enacted act. The cited review does not verify comprehensive enacted transposition.
Recommended next step
Keep the existing German information and equal-pay controls; prepare an implementation register that only activates new duties after an enacted text is confirmed.
Suggested owner

Timing / condition
Prepare now; confirm national commencement before applying a new deadline.
Recruitment duties active; wider UC127 proposal remains a draft
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 25 September differential review. Retained governed position: Recruitment amendments apply from 24 December 2025: initial pay or range information, gender-neutral recruitment wording and a restriction on salary-history questions. The official government register separately lists wider proposal UC127 as a draft. This bounded review does not establish complete enacted transposition.
Recommended next step
Audit job advertisements and information sent before interviews; keep the wider reporting design marked as draft.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
Recruitment duties already apply; Q4 2026 is a government planning date.
Existing register and audit rules confirmed; wider transposition not established
Finding
BOE confirms two separate layers. Royal Decree 902/2020 has applied since 14 April 2021 for equal pay, remuneration registers, equal-value controls and applicable pay audits. Royal Decree 723/2026 was published on 15 September and takes effect on 5 October 2026. Articles 3 and 7 require written information before employment starts on base salary, each supplement separately, payment frequency and method, variable-pay calculation and criteria, overtime remuneration, and algorithmic systems affecting pay; later changes are due no later than their effective day. RD 723/2026 partially transposes Directive (EU) 2019/1152, not Directive (EU) 2023/970, so the EU Pay Transparency completeness status is unchanged.
Recommended next step
Maintain the RD 902/2020 remuneration register and applicable equality-plan pay audit; consult legal worker representatives at least ten days before creating or changing the register and retain the consultation evidence; confirm collective-agreement and autonomous-community effects locally. In parallel, map each RD 723/2026 item to the offer/contract information pack, payroll dictionary and delivery log, and test pre-start delivery, same-day change notices and the algorithmic-pay explanation.

Government bill awaits both chambers; start date conditional
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 25 September differential review. Retained governed position: The Dutch government page states that both parliamentary chambers still need to approve Bill 36949.

Existing biennial pay-structure report for covered 50+ employers; full transposition not confirmed
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 25 September differential review. Retained governed position: Existing Belgian guidance requires a pay-structure analysis every two financial years for covered employers averaging at least 50 workers: abbreviated model for 50–99, full model from 100. The mediator is optional.
Recommended next step
Confirm the statutory headcount calculation and use the correct model; schedule presentation to the works council or trade-union delegation.

Timing / condition
Biennial reporting cycle; derive the next delivery from the employer’s financial years and consultation timetable.
Renegotiation and preparation documented; final legislation not verified
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 25 September differential review. Retained governed position: The government's no-bill and renegotiation announcement was on 26 March 2026. The 8 June announcement concerned resumed preparation and promotional work through the Equality Ombudsman. Guidance updated on 17 June said legislation was incomplete. These dated records do not establish an exhaustive September legislative status.
Recommended next step
Maintain the annual pay-survey workflow and documented equal-value grouping; keep draft reporting fields separate.

Ministerial answer clarifies proposed reporting; not enacted law
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 25 September differential review. Retained governed position: The ministerial answer dated 27 August 2026 describes proposed reporting for certain employers with 50–99 workers where the same function includes at least eight men and eight women. This is not blanket coverage of every employer with 50+ workers, and enactment is not established by the answer.
Recommended next step

8 measures notified; economy-wide completeness not established
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 25 September differential review. Retained governed position: EUR-Lex listed eight Austrian measures, but the notification set includes limited or public-sector material and does not establish complete economy-wide transposition. Existing salary-range advertising and equality duties continue.
Recommended next step
Prepare the anonymised report, but obtain the current section 63 scope before deciding coverage for exactly 150 workers.

Government-approved transposition proposal; enactment not verified
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 25 September differential review. Retained governed position: The Ministry of Labour page, updated on 31 August 2026, confirms government approval of the transposition proposal. The proposal is a substantive legislative step, but government approval does not establish enacted law or a general effective date.
Recommended next step
Build a gap between current payroll data and the proposed equal-value reporting fields; retain proposal labels in management papers.
Suggested owner

Timing / condition
2028 for 150+ and 2031 for 100–149 remain proposed first-report years.
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 25 September differential review. Retained governed position: The official Labour Code text inspected on 13 September 2026 retains section 12 on equal treatment in remuneration and assessment of equal-value work; the displayed consolidation is dated 28 February 2025. This review does not verify September transposition. The autumn programme remained inaccessible behind CAPTCHA. The separate 11 September EUR-Lex observation of zero notified Hungarian measures is unchanged and does not prove that domestic legislation or proposals are absent.
Recommended next step
Use current equal-treatment controls and ask local counsel for the enacted national text before activating a new reporting date.
Existing equal-pay law applies; partial-transposition consultation draft
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 25 September differential review. Retained governed position: BTE Separata 26/2026 of 5 August contains an official partial-transposition draft whose 20-day consultation period has elapsed. It proposes pre-contract pay information, a salary-history ban, information rights and reporting for employers with 50+ workers. Existing Law 60/2018 remains separate from these proposals.
Recommended next step
Continue existing equal-pay duties and keep a draft-to-final comparison before changing employer thresholds or reporting schedules.

Existing 50+ gender-pay-gap reporting active; current full-transposition status not verified
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 25 September differential review. Retained governed position: Existing Irish gender-pay-gap reporting remains separate from full Directive transposition. In the official 16 June 2026 answer, the Minister confirmed delayed full transposition and continuing annual publication; central-portal filing was described as following an amendment. The 13 September review read that answer, the consolidation dated 31 May 2025 and the original draft Heads 4 and 5. September enactment and mandatory portal commencement remain unverified.
Recommended next step
Continue the existing gender-pay-gap reporting workflow and keep Directive-specific recruitment, worker-request and equal-value changes in a controlled pending-law plan.
Suggested owner

Timing / condition
Monitor the Oireachtas and Irish Statute Book continuously; do not treat the updated consolidation date as transposition.
L445/2026 in Senate committees; procedural dates are not employer deadlines
Finding
The official Senate record was re-read on 25 September. L445/2026 remains in permanent committees; the latest listed procedure is still the 21 September extension to a 60-day tacit-adoption period ending 17 October. The date is not an employer deadline.
Recommended next step
Keep L445/2026 in the draft register, prepare the data model, and wait for final enactment and commencement before activating new thresholds or deadlines.
Suggested owner

Timing / condition
Monitor the revised 17 October 2026 parliamentary milestone; no new employer deadline is confirmed.
Consultation closed; final enactment not established by the record
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 25 September differential review. Retained governed position: Official consultation 12386 ran from 19 May to 18 June 2026 and is inactive. Results are dated 11 August; the final Council of Ministers act field was blank in the reviewed record. This supports a completion-proposal update, not a claim of enacted comprehensive transposition.
Recommended next step
Compare the final adopted text, when available, with the consultation; do not treat stakeholder comments as law.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
Prepare now; confirm national commencement before applying a new deadline.
Job-evaluation guidance available; legislative alignment in progress
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 25 September differential review. Retained governed position: The ministry provides job-evaluation models for small, medium and large enterprises, including guidance dated 9 September 2026. The models assess the job rather than the person. Labour Act alignment is described as in progress; preparatory guidance is not evidence that transposition is already in force.
Recommended next step
Select the model matching employer size and test a small set of real job descriptions with documented factor evidence.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
Preparation can begin now; binding dates require the final law.
Ministry plans transposition by end-2026; final enactment not verified
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 25 September differential review. Retained governed position: On 11 September the ministry announced planned pay-transparency transposition by the end of 2026. This adds a dated national plan to the previous notification-only brief; enactment is not established.
Recommended next step
Assign a Slovenian implementation owner and prepare job categories and payroll inputs while monitoring Uradni list for the final act.
Suggested owner

Timing / condition
End of 2026 is the ministry’s planning target, not an employer deadline.
Partial pay-transparency duties active; broader package not transposed in ministry guidance
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 25 September differential review. Retained governed position: The ministry confirms amendments effective 13 July 2026: written pay or range information before the first interview, a salary-history ban, the right to discuss one's own pay and equal pay for the same or equivalent work absent objective gender-neutral justification. Current ministry guidance distinguishes wider Directive duties not yet transposed. Direct statutory article-by-article verification was limited by the legal-register page.
Recommended next step
Check pay information provided before interviews and salary-history questions; keep wider reporting fields in preparation.
Suggested owner

Timing / condition
Current partial duties apply now; no new full-package commencement confirmed.
TAP 26-TA-700 remains a draft in the reviewed record
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 25 September differential review. Retained governed position: The TAP record documents consultation from 26 March to 9 April, coordination from 27 June to 10 July and opinions on 14 July 2026. The reviewed draft is a planning input; its thresholds and reporting dates are not presented as binding employer duties.
Recommended next step

Draft 2027/2031 dates are not confirmed employer deadlines.
Law 5316/2026 published; confirm applicable commencement provisions
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 25 September differential review. Retained governed position: The parliamentary record confirms Law 5316/2026, voted on 2 July and published in Gazette 105 A on 6 July 2026. EUR-Lex records notification on 23 July with a national declaration of completion. These publication and notification records do not independently establish every operative commencement or reporting clause, and national notification is not a Commission conformity assessment.
Recommended next step
Have local counsel identify the applicable articles and filing instructions for each legal entity before setting its deadline.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
Entity-specific commencement and filing date still require confirmation.
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 25 September differential review. Retained governed position: The official consultation was published on 5 November 2025 and closed on 4 December 2025. Results and a revised bill are available. Article 36 proposes commencement on future Gazette publication; this clause does not establish that publication or commencement has occurred.
Recommended next step
Use the proposal to prepare data; verify the House and Gazette record before changing contractual information or statutory dates.
Suggested owner

Consultation is no longer open; no final commencement verified in this source.
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 25 September differential review. Retained governed position: Malta published Legal Notice 173/2026 on 5 June 2026. Regulation 6 requires a written information response within eight days; requests in 2026 concern 2026 pay. Publication is established, but this review did not independently establish a commencement clause or exhaustively check later amendments.
Recommended next step

Timing / condition
First reports by 7 June 2027 / 7 June 2031; resolve the additional timing clause locally.
Parliamentary discussion documented; enacted transposition not verified
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 25 September differential review. Retained governed position: The Chamber of Deputies records Labour Committee discussion on 24 June 2026. The cited review does not verify comprehensive enacted transposition, but the committee record means a categorical pre-draft or no-bill description is not justified. The review is not an exhaustive search for later legislation.
Recommended next step
Prepare equal-value categories and a source-backed legal change register; await the final Legilux text for new obligations.
Suggested owner

Timing / condition
Prepare now; confirm national commencement before applying a new deadline.
Great Britain 250+ gender-pay-gap reporting active
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 25 September differential review. Retained governed position: The statutory regime described here covers England, Scotland and Wales, not the whole United Kingdom as one undifferentiated rule. Covered employers with 250 or more relevant employees report annually; private and voluntary-sector employers use a 5 April snapshot and publish by 4 April of the following year, while public authorities generally use 31 March and publish by 30 March.
Recommended next step
Keep the mandatory report calendar and prepare a separate action plan with owners, measurable actions and review dates. Label its present voluntary status.
Suggested owner

Federal equal-pay baseline plus state and local transparency rules
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 25 September differential review. Retained governed position: The federal Equal Pay Act does not use an EU-style 100-worker reporting threshold. Title VII generally applies from 15 employees. EEO-1 demographic reporting generally covers employers with 100 or more employees and qualifying federal contractors with 50 or more employees and a qualifying contract; it is not a universal pay-gap report.
Recommended next step
Check recruiter and agency adverts, California remote eligibility, and payroll/labour-contractor report scope; retain the certified submission receipt.

WGEA 100+ reporting active; 500+ target duties also apply
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 25 September differential review. Retained governed position: Relevant Australian employers with 100 or more employees report annually to WGEA. A continuing-employer rule can keep an employer in scope while it remains at 80 or more employees, and employers with 500 or more employees have additional gender-equality target duties.
Recommended next step
Keep CEO approval, governing-body delivery evidence and a three-target register with baselines, owners and the entity’s selection date.

Standard reporting window 1 April–31 May; target period runs three years from selection. Confirm the entity’s portal cycle.
Federal 10+ proactive pay equity and separate 100+ LEEP reporting active
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 25 September differential review. Retained governed position: In federally regulated Canada, the Pay Equity Act generally applies from 10 employees and requires a proactive pay-equity process. The Legislated Employment Equity Program is a separate annual reporting layer generally for covered private-sector employers with 100 or more employees; provincial regimes must be assessed separately.
Recommended next step
Record why the entity is federally regulated, the date it became subject, the plan’s due date and the next five-year update; keep LEEP separate.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
Entity-specific three- and five-year plan clocks; verify annual-statement and LEEP dates separately.
100+ semi-annual reporting active; sixth-report availability not confirmed
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 25 September differential review. Retained governed position: Law 14,611/2023 requires semi-annual transparency reporting by private legal entities with 100+ employees, with anonymisation and mitigation measures. The sixth-report data-update window ran from 3 to 31 August 2026. As of the 11 September public-source review, MTE's main page still referred to the fifth report; availability of the sixth report in an authenticated employer account was not verified.
Recommended next step
Check the employer’s official portal for its report, validate the figures and prepare the required publication; retain evidence of availability and the published report.
Suggested owner

Gender wage-gap disclosure applies to 101+ regular workers from 1 April 2026
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 25 September differential review. Retained governed position: From 1 April 2026, employers with 101+ regular workers must disclose the gender wage gap and the proportion of women in management. Employers with 101–300 add at least one other required indicator; 301+ add at least one from each of the two designated categories. The first covered financial year ends on or after 1 April 2026; publication is generally around three months after the next financial year begins.
Recommended next step
Prepare both indicators and the size-appropriate additional item(s). Record the first financial year ending on/after 1 April 2026 and the publication date.
Suggested owner

Timing / condition
Generally about three months after the following financial year begins. A June 2026 year-end points to approximately September 2026, not a universal 30 September deadline.
Equal-value pay applies under the Act; the old under-five-worker exemption was deleted
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 25 September differential review. Retained governed position: Article 8 of the Equal Employment Opportunity and Work-Family Balance Assistance Act requires equal pay for work of equal value within the same business. The former under-five-worker exception in Enforcement Decree article 2(2) was deleted in 2018. Check the remaining specific exceptions, including cohabiting-relative-only businesses and domestic workers, against the authoritative Korean text.
Recommended next step
Review small establishments previously excluded by the tracker. Compare actual skill, effort, responsibility and working conditions within the business.

Timing / condition
Correct scope now; no universal public-report filing date follows from article 8.
Annual reporting active for 519+ employers and specified entities
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 25 September differential review. Retained governed position: Israel's Equal Pay law requires annual gender-pay-gap analysis and publication for employers with more than 518 employees and for specified bodies covered by the amendment. Coverage is not a universal private-employer rule and must be tested by entity type. The current-year deadline and any extension remain unverified in this review.
Recommended next step
Obtain the Commission’s current notice for the covered year before deciding whether the report is late; preserve internal and public reports with privacy controls.

2026 EEA2/EEA4 reporting open for designated employers
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 25 September differential review. Retained governed position: The live Department portal confirms the 2026 EEA2/EEA4 cycle is open. Listed designated employers include those with 50+ employees, organs of state and employers with 1–49 employees designated by collective agreement. This is a fresh operational review; the 2025 regulations were not reread successfully in this pass.

Code on Wages section 3 in force; no universal public reporting
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 25 September differential review. Retained governed position: Section 3 of India's Code on Wages commenced on 21 November 2025 and prohibits gender discrimination in wages for the same or similar work and in recruitment, subject to statutory exceptions. It has no general headcount threshold and does not create a universal public employer pay-gap report.
Recommended next step
Review recruitment templates and wage-comparison controls for gender-inclusive application; confirm the appropriate central/state rules for the establishment.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
Apply the existing section 3 controls now; no universal pay-gap filing date asserted.
Tripartite fair-employment guidance active; Workplace Fairness Act enacted but not yet in force
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 25 September differential review. Retained governed position: Singapore's current employer baseline remains the applicable fair-employment and tripartite framework. The Workplace Fairness Act has been enacted and is targeted to take effect at end-2027. A future exemption for employers with fewer than 25 employees has been announced, but those future statutory provisions are not yet operative. No universal public pay-gap report applies.
Recommended next step
Review recruitment criteria and grievance handling now; keep an owner for the final commencement notice and implementation rules.
Suggested owner

Timing / condition
End-2027 target remains subject to commencement arrangements; no universal report deadline.
100+ headcount equal-pay analysis framework active through 30 June 2032
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 25 September differential review. Retained governed position: The Swiss threshold is 100 employees by headcount, not full-time equivalents, and apprentices are excluded. Analysis, independent verification and employee communication are separate steps. A repeat after four years is required only when the prior analysis did not demonstrate equal pay; the statutory framework is time-limited through 30 June 2032.
Recommended next step
Record the last analysis result, workforce at the year start, independent-review evidence and next required date; do not copy another employer’s 2025–2027 sequence.
Suggested owner

Timing / condition
Derive the date from first coverage or the last failed analysis; framework runs through 30 June 2032.
National 50+ reporting framework in force; transition depends on prior certification
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 25 September differential review. Retained governed position: Law 53/2026 and consolidated Law 150/2020 establish reporting every three years for entities averaging at least 50 staff annually. Regulation 946/2026 and regulator guidance were read on 13 September: submit job classification, sex-disaggregated pay analysis and a remediation plan where applicable. The earlier EEA-incorporation observation remains dated 3 September and was not reverified.
Recommended next step
Locate the latest certificate or confirmation and approval of the equality plan; calculate the entity’s deadline from that evidence.
Suggested owner

Timing / condition
Prior certificate/confirmation: three years after the latest one. Neither held: before 1 March 2027.
Amended equal-pay and pay-equity claim process active; no universal public report
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 25 September differential review. Retained governed position: New Zealand's amended Equal Pay Act requires the current pay-equity claim eligibility and response process. A pay-equity claim generally concerns work performed by a workforce that is at least 70% female and has been predominantly female for at least ten consecutive years. The employer acknowledges a claim within five working days and generally decides whether it is arguable within 60 working days.
Recommended next step
Create a receipt-date log, acknowledgement template, union-notification privacy check and decision calendar; obtain legal review before discontinuing a claim.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
5 working days to acknowledge; 60 working days to decide. Extension: up to 20 working days for one employer, 80 for multiple employers, subject to the guidance conditions.
Job-category and equal-value pay framework active without a general headcount threshold
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 25 September differential review. Retained governed position: Law 30,709 requires salary-policy controls and job-category/function schedules supporting non-discriminatory remuneration. The official Congress explanation also requires informing workers of the salary policy. The previously stated 4 August 2026 Supreme Court development could not be substantiated and is withdrawn; it must not be relied on as legal evidence.
Recommended next step
Keep approved category/function schedules and evidence that workers received the salary policy. Obtain the actual judgment before using any case-law claim in a pay decision.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
Maintain the existing controls now; no new court-created deadline is asserted.
Same-work pay rule active; 10+ complaint procedure and 200+ role register
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 25 September differential review. Retained governed position: Chile's statutory rule addresses equal remuneration for the same work and should not be described as a general equal-value regime. Employers with 10 or more workers require the applicable internal complaint procedure with a written response within 30 days; employers with 200 or more workers must maintain the prescribed register of positions or functions. No universal public pay-gap report applies.
Recommended next step
Check the internal regulations and who receives a pay complaint; ensure the response explains the objective basis and is retained.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
Reasoned written response within 30 days of the complaint.
Equal-remuneration baseline; separate confidential social balance for more than 300 workers
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 25 September differential review. Retained governed position: The equal-remuneration baseline is separate from Law 25,877 articles 25–27. The latter require an annual confidential social balance for employers with more than 300 workers (301+), not 300 or more. Delivery to the relevant union is within 30 days of preparation, with a confidential copy to the labour authority.
Recommended next step
Recheck entities with exactly 300 workers. For covered employers, assign preparation, union delivery and confidential authority-copy responsibilities.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
Annual balance; union delivery within 30 days after preparation. Article 27 governs first application after reaching the statutory size.

Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 24 September differential review. Retained governed position: Act No. 76/2026 Coll. took effect on 7 June 2026. Section 6 separates information about an employee's own pay from sex-disaggregated category averages. Under section 18(2), category-average information is first provided for 2027. This does not create a separate 1 January commencement date for own-pay information.

Preparatory government work and opposition motion documented
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 24 September differential review. Retained governed position: The government answer reported on 16 July 2026 describes preparatory transposition work. A Die Linke motion reported on 9 September calls for legislation; it is an opposition motion, not a government bill or enacted act. The cited review does not verify comprehensive enacted transposition.

Recruitment duties active; wider UC127 proposal remains a draft
Finding
The official government register was re-read on 24 September. UC127 remains an EU-implementing bill project; the status field is blank and Council of Ministers adoption is still planned for Q4 2026. This is not enacted law.

Timing / condition
Recruitment duties already apply; Q4 2026 is a government planning date.
Existing register and audit rules confirmed; wider transposition not established
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 24 September differential review. Retained governed position: The consolidated Royal Decree 902/2020 requires a pay register for all companies, including management and senior executives. Registers include sex-disaggregated means and medians; pay audits form part of equality plans. A prior Directive consultation ran from 24 April to 8 May 2026 and is closed; that historical consultation does not prove there was no later legislation.

Existing biennial pay-structure report for covered 50+ employers; full transposition not confirmed
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 24 September differential review. Retained governed position: Existing Belgian guidance requires a pay-structure analysis every two financial years for covered employers averaging at least 50 workers: abbreviated model for 50–99, full model from 100. The mediator is optional.
Recommended next step

Renegotiation and preparation documented; final legislation not verified
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 24 September differential review. Retained governed position: The government's no-bill and renegotiation announcement was on 26 March 2026. The 8 June announcement concerned resumed preparation and promotional work through the Equality Ombudsman. Guidance updated on 17 June said legislation was incomplete. These dated records do not establish an exhaustive September legislative status.

Ministerial answer clarifies proposed reporting; not enacted law
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 24 September differential review. Retained governed position: The ministerial answer dated 27 August 2026 describes proposed reporting for certain employers with 50–99 workers where the same function includes at least eight men and eight women. This is not blanket coverage of every employer with 50+ workers, and enactment is not established by the answer.

Government-approved transposition proposal; enactment not verified
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 24 September differential review. Retained governed position: The Ministry of Labour page, updated on 31 August 2026, confirms government approval of the transposition proposal. The proposal is a substantive legislative step, but government approval does not establish enacted law or a general effective date.
Recommended next step
Build a gap between current payroll data and the proposed equal-value reporting fields; retain proposal labels in management papers.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
2028 for 150+ and 2031 for 100–149 remain proposed first-report years.
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 24 September differential review. Retained governed position: The official Labour Code text inspected on 13 September 2026 retains section 12 on equal treatment in remuneration and assessment of equal-value work; the displayed consolidation is dated 28 February 2025. This review does not verify September transposition. The autumn programme remained inaccessible behind CAPTCHA. The separate 11 September EUR-Lex observation of zero notified Hungarian measures is unchanged and does not prove that domestic legislation or proposals are absent.
Recommended next step
Use current equal-treatment controls and ask local counsel for the enacted national text before activating a new reporting date.
Existing equal-pay law applies; partial-transposition consultation draft
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 24 September differential review. Retained governed position: BTE Separata 26/2026 of 5 August contains an official partial-transposition draft whose 20-day consultation period has elapsed. It proposes pre-contract pay information, a salary-history ban, information rights and reporting for employers with 50+ workers. Existing Law 60/2018 remains separate from these proposals.
Recommended next step
Continue existing equal-pay duties and keep a draft-to-final comparison before changing employer thresholds or reporting schedules.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
Prepare now; confirm national commencement before applying a new deadline.
Existing 50+ gender-pay-gap reporting active; current full-transposition status not verified
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 24 September differential review. Retained governed position: Existing Irish gender-pay-gap reporting remains separate from full Directive transposition. In the official 16 June 2026 answer, the Minister confirmed delayed full transposition and continuing annual publication; central-portal filing was described as following an amendment. The 13 September review read that answer, the consolidation dated 31 May 2025 and the original draft Heads 4 and 5. September enactment and mandatory portal commencement remain unverified.
Recommended next step
Continue the existing gender-pay-gap reporting workflow and keep Directive-specific recruitment, worker-request and equal-value changes in a controlled pending-law plan.
Suggested owner
HR lead with Irish employment counsel
Timing / condition
Monitor the Oireachtas and Irish Statute Book continuously; do not treat the updated consolidation date as transposition.
L445/2026 in Senate committees; procedural dates are not employer deadlines
Finding
The official Senate record was re-read on 24 September. L445/2026 remains in permanent committees; no later procedure entry appears after the 21 September extension to a 60-day tacit-adoption period ending 17 October. The date is not an employer deadline.
Recommended next step
Keep L445/2026 in the draft register, prepare the data model, and wait for final enactment and commencement before activating new thresholds or deadlines.
Suggested owner
Romania HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
Monitor the revised 17 October 2026 parliamentary milestone; no new employer deadline is confirmed.
Consultation closed; final enactment not established by the record
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 24 September differential review. Retained governed position: Official consultation 12386 ran from 19 May to 18 June 2026 and is inactive. Results are dated 11 August; the final Council of Ministers act field was blank in the reviewed record. This supports a completion-proposal update, not a claim of enacted comprehensive transposition.
Recommended next step
Compare the final adopted text, when available, with the consultation; do not treat stakeholder comments as law.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
Prepare now; confirm national commencement before applying a new deadline.
Job-evaluation guidance available; legislative alignment in progress
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 24 September differential review. Retained governed position: The ministry provides job-evaluation models for small, medium and large enterprises, including guidance dated 9 September 2026. The models assess the job rather than the person. Labour Act alignment is described as in progress; preparatory guidance is not evidence that transposition is already in force.
Recommended next step
Select the model matching employer size and test a small set of real job descriptions with documented factor evidence.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
Preparation can begin now; binding dates require the final law.
Ministry plans transposition by end-2026; final enactment not verified
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 24 September differential review. Retained governed position: On 11 September the ministry announced planned pay-transparency transposition by the end of 2026. This adds a dated national plan to the previous notification-only brief; enactment is not established.
Recommended next step
Assign a Slovenian implementation owner and prepare job categories and payroll inputs while monitoring Uradni list for the final act.
Suggested owner

Timing / condition
End of 2026 is the ministry’s planning target, not an employer deadline.
Partial pay-transparency duties active; broader package not transposed in ministry guidance
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 24 September differential review. Retained governed position: The ministry confirms amendments effective 13 July 2026: written pay or range information before the first interview, a salary-history ban, the right to discuss one's own pay and equal pay for the same or equivalent work absent objective gender-neutral justification. Current ministry guidance distinguishes wider Directive duties not yet transposed. Direct statutory article-by-article verification was limited by the legal-register page.
Recommended next step
Check pay information provided before interviews and salary-history questions; keep wider reporting fields in preparation.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
Current partial duties apply now; no new full-package commencement confirmed.
TAP 26-TA-700 remains a draft in the reviewed record
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 24 September differential review. Retained governed position: The TAP record documents consultation from 26 March to 9 April, coordination from 27 June to 10 July and opinions on 14 July 2026. The reviewed draft is a planning input; its thresholds and reporting dates are not presented as binding employer duties.
Recommended next step

Timing / condition
Draft 2027/2031 dates are not confirmed employer deadlines.
Law 5316/2026 published; confirm applicable commencement provisions
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 24 September differential review. Retained governed position: The parliamentary record confirms Law 5316/2026, voted on 2 July and published in Gazette 105 A on 6 July 2026. EUR-Lex records notification on 23 July with a national declaration of completion. These publication and notification records do not independently establish every operative commencement or reporting clause, and national notification is not a Commission conformity assessment.
Recommended next step
Have local counsel identify the applicable articles and filing instructions for each legal entity before setting its deadline.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
Entity-specific commencement and filing date still require confirmation.
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 24 September differential review. Retained governed position: The official consultation was published on 5 November 2025 and closed on 4 December 2025. Results and a revised bill are available. Article 36 proposes commencement on future Gazette publication; this clause does not establish that publication or commencement has occurred.
Recommended next step
Use the proposal to prepare data; verify the House and Gazette record before changing contractual information or statutory dates.
Suggested owner

Timing / condition
Consultation is no longer open; no final commencement verified in this source.
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 24 September differential review. Retained governed position: Malta published Legal Notice 173/2026 on 5 June 2026. Regulation 6 requires a written information response within eight days; requests in 2026 concern 2026 pay. Publication is established, but this review did not independently establish a commencement clause or exhaustively check later amendments.
Recommended next step
Preserve the full 2026 payroll period and obtain written filing instructions resolving regulation 9(5) before submission.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
First reports by 7 June 2027 / 7 June 2031; resolve the additional timing clause locally.
Parliamentary discussion documented; enacted transposition not verified
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 24 September differential review. Retained governed position: The Chamber of Deputies records Labour Committee discussion on 24 June 2026. The cited review does not verify comprehensive enacted transposition, but the committee record means a categorical pre-draft or no-bill description is not justified. The review is not an exhaustive search for later legislation.
Recommended next step
Prepare equal-value categories and a source-backed legal change register; await the final Legilux text for new obligations.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
Prepare now; confirm national commencement before applying a new deadline.
Great Britain 250+ gender-pay-gap reporting active
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 24 September differential review. Retained governed position: The statutory regime described here covers England, Scotland and Wales, not the whole United Kingdom as one undifferentiated rule. Covered employers with 250 or more relevant employees report annually; private and voluntary-sector employers use a 5 April snapshot and publish by 4 April of the following year, while public authorities generally use 31 March and publish by 30 March.
Recommended next step
Keep the mandatory report calendar and prepare a separate action plan with owners, measurable actions and review dates. Label its present voluntary status.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
Current snapshot cycle: 30 March 2027 for covered public bodies; 4 April 2027 for private/voluntary employers.
Federal equal-pay baseline plus state and local transparency rules
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 24 September differential review. Retained governed position: The federal Equal Pay Act does not use an EU-style 100-worker reporting threshold. Title VII generally applies from 15 employees. EEO-1 demographic reporting generally covers employers with 100 or more employees and qualifying federal contractors with 50 or more employees and a qualifying contract; it is not a universal pay-gap report.
Recommended next step
Check recruiter and agency adverts, California remote eligibility, and payroll/labour-contractor report scope; retain the certified submission receipt.
Suggested owner

Timing / condition
California 2025-data deadline was 13 May 2026: check any missing receipt now. Pay scale belongs in each covered posting.
WGEA 100+ reporting active; 500+ target duties also apply
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 24 September differential review. Retained governed position: Relevant Australian employers with 100 or more employees report annually to WGEA. A continuing-employer rule can keep an employer in scope while it remains at 80 or more employees, and employers with 500 or more employees have additional gender-equality target duties.
Recommended next step
Keep CEO approval, governing-body delivery evidence and a three-target register with baselines, owners and the entity’s selection date.
Suggested owner
CEO, HR reporting lead and governing body
Timing / condition
Standard reporting window 1 April–31 May; target period runs three years from selection. Confirm the entity’s portal cycle.
Federal 10+ proactive pay equity and separate 100+ LEEP reporting active
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 24 September differential review. Retained governed position: In federally regulated Canada, the Pay Equity Act generally applies from 10 employees and requires a proactive pay-equity process. The Legislated Employment Equity Program is a separate annual reporting layer generally for covered private-sector employers with 100 or more employees; provincial regimes must be assessed separately.
Recommended next step
Record why the entity is federally regulated, the date it became subject, the plan’s due date and the next five-year update; keep LEEP separate.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
Entity-specific three- and five-year plan clocks; verify annual-statement and LEEP dates separately.
100+ semi-annual reporting active; sixth-report availability not confirmed
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 24 September differential review. Retained governed position: Law 14,611/2023 requires semi-annual transparency reporting by private legal entities with 100+ employees, with anonymisation and mitigation measures. The sixth-report data-update window ran from 3 to 31 August 2026. As of the 11 September public-source review, MTE's main page still referred to the fifth report; availability of the sixth report in an authenticated employer account was not verified.
Recommended next step
Check the employer’s official portal for its report, validate the figures and prepare the required publication; retain evidence of availability and the published report.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
September publication cycle; a precise availability date remains unverified.
Gender wage-gap disclosure applies to 101+ regular workers from 1 April 2026
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 24 September differential review. Retained governed position: From 1 April 2026, employers with 101+ regular workers must disclose the gender wage gap and the proportion of women in management. Employers with 101–300 add at least one other required indicator; 301+ add at least one from each of the two designated categories. The first covered financial year ends on or after 1 April 2026; publication is generally around three months after the next financial year begins.
Recommended next step
Prepare both indicators and the size-appropriate additional item(s). Record the first financial year ending on/after 1 April 2026 and the publication date.
Suggested owner
HR and payroll lead
Timing / condition
Generally about three months after the following financial year begins. A June 2026 year-end points to approximately September 2026, not a universal 30 September deadline.
Equal-value pay applies under the Act; the old under-five-worker exemption was deleted
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 24 September differential review. Retained governed position: Article 8 of the Equal Employment Opportunity and Work-Family Balance Assistance Act requires equal pay for work of equal value within the same business. The former under-five-worker exception in Enforcement Decree article 2(2) was deleted in 2018. Check the remaining specific exceptions, including cohabiting-relative-only businesses and domestic workers, against the authoritative Korean text.
Recommended next step
Review small establishments previously excluded by the tracker. Compare actual skill, effort, responsibility and working conditions within the business.
Suggested owner

Timing / condition
Correct scope now; no universal public-report filing date follows from article 8.
Annual reporting active for 519+ employers and specified entities
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 24 September differential review. Retained governed position: Israel's Equal Pay law requires annual gender-pay-gap analysis and publication for employers with more than 518 employees and for specified bodies covered by the amendment. Coverage is not a universal private-employer rule and must be tested by entity type. The current-year deadline and any extension remain unverified in this review.
Recommended next step
Obtain the Commission’s current notice for the covered year before deciding whether the report is late; preserve internal and public reports with privacy controls.

2026 EEA2/EEA4 reporting open for designated employers
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 24 September differential review. Retained governed position: The live Department portal confirms the 2026 EEA2/EEA4 cycle is open. Listed designated employers include those with 50+ employees, organs of state and employers with 1–49 employees designated by collective agreement. This is a fresh operational review; the 2025 regulations were not reread successfully in this pass.

Code on Wages section 3 in force; no universal public reporting
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 24 September differential review. Retained governed position: Section 3 of India's Code on Wages commenced on 21 November 2025 and prohibits gender discrimination in wages for the same or similar work and in recruitment, subject to statutory exceptions. It has no general headcount threshold and does not create a universal public employer pay-gap report.
Recommended next step
Review recruitment templates and wage-comparison controls for gender-inclusive application; confirm the appropriate central/state rules for the establishment.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
Apply the existing section 3 controls now; no universal pay-gap filing date asserted.
Tripartite fair-employment guidance active; Workplace Fairness Act enacted but not yet in force
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 24 September differential review. Retained governed position: Singapore's current employer baseline remains the applicable fair-employment and tripartite framework. The Workplace Fairness Act has been enacted and is targeted to take effect at end-2027. A future exemption for employers with fewer than 25 employees has been announced, but those future statutory provisions are not yet operative. No universal public pay-gap report applies.
Recommended next step
Review recruitment criteria and grievance handling now; keep an owner for the final commencement notice and implementation rules.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
End-2027 target remains subject to commencement arrangements; no universal report deadline.
100+ headcount equal-pay analysis framework active through 30 June 2032
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 24 September differential review. Retained governed position: The Swiss threshold is 100 employees by headcount, not full-time equivalents, and apprentices are excluded. Analysis, independent verification and employee communication are separate steps. A repeat after four years is required only when the prior analysis did not demonstrate equal pay; the statutory framework is time-limited through 30 June 2032.
Recommended next step
Record the last analysis result, workforce at the year start, independent-review evidence and next required date; do not copy another employer’s 2025–2027 sequence.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
Derive the date from first coverage or the last failed analysis; framework runs through 30 June 2032.
National 50+ reporting framework in force; transition depends on prior certification
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 24 September differential review. Retained governed position: Law 53/2026 and consolidated Law 150/2020 establish reporting every three years for entities averaging at least 50 staff annually. Regulation 946/2026 and regulator guidance were read on 13 September: submit job classification, sex-disaggregated pay analysis and a remediation plan where applicable. The earlier EEA-incorporation observation remains dated 3 September and was not reverified.
Recommended next step
Locate the latest certificate or confirmation and approval of the equality plan; calculate the entity’s deadline from that evidence.
Suggested owner

Timing / condition
Prior certificate/confirmation: three years after the latest one. Neither held: before 1 March 2027.
Amended equal-pay and pay-equity claim process active; no universal public report
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 24 September differential review. Retained governed position: New Zealand's amended Equal Pay Act requires the current pay-equity claim eligibility and response process. A pay-equity claim generally concerns work performed by a workforce that is at least 70% female and has been predominantly female for at least ten consecutive years. The employer acknowledges a claim within five working days and generally decides whether it is arguable within 60 working days.
Recommended next step
Create a receipt-date log, acknowledgement template, union-notification privacy check and decision calendar; obtain legal review before discontinuing a claim.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
5 working days to acknowledge; 60 working days to decide. Extension: up to 20 working days for one employer, 80 for multiple employers, subject to the guidance conditions.
Job-category and equal-value pay framework active without a general headcount threshold
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 24 September differential review. Retained governed position: Law 30,709 requires salary-policy controls and job-category/function schedules supporting non-discriminatory remuneration. The official Congress explanation also requires informing workers of the salary policy. The previously stated 4 August 2026 Supreme Court development could not be substantiated and is withdrawn; it must not be relied on as legal evidence.
Recommended next step
Keep approved category/function schedules and evidence that workers received the salary policy. Obtain the actual judgment before using any case-law claim in a pay decision.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
Maintain the existing controls now; no new court-created deadline is asserted.
Same-work pay rule active; 10+ complaint procedure and 200+ role register
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 24 September differential review. Retained governed position: Chile's statutory rule addresses equal remuneration for the same work and should not be described as a general equal-value regime. Employers with 10 or more workers require the applicable internal complaint procedure with a written response within 30 days; employers with 200 or more workers must maintain the prescribed register of positions or functions. No universal public pay-gap report applies.
Recommended next step
Check the internal regulations and who receives a pay complaint; ensure the response explains the objective basis and is retained.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
Reasoned written response within 30 days of the complaint.
Equal-remuneration baseline; separate confidential social balance for more than 300 workers
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 24 September differential review. Retained governed position: The equal-remuneration baseline is separate from Law 25,877 articles 25–27. The latter require an annual confidential social balance for employers with more than 300 workers (301+), not 300 or more. Delivery to the relevant union is within 30 days of preparation, with a confidential copy to the labour authority.
Recommended next step
Recheck entities with exactly 300 workers. For covered employers, assign preparation, union delivery and confidential authority-copy responsibilities.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
Annual balance; union delivery within 30 days after preparation. Article 27 governs first application after reaching the statutory size.

EU baseline in force; national law must be checked
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 22 September differential review. Retained governed position: Directive (EU) 2023/970 sets the common EU framework for equal pay, recruitment transparency, worker information rights, employer reporting and enforcement. The transposition deadline passed on 7 June 2026, but employer duties must be read through each country's enacted law.

Act No. 76/2026 Coll. in force; transitional information rules apply
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 22 September differential review. Retained governed position: Act No. 76/2026 Coll. took effect on 7 June 2026. Section 6 separates information about an employee's own pay from sex-disaggregated category averages. Under section 18(2), category-average information is first provided for 2027. This does not create a separate 1 January commencement date for own-pay information.

Legislative Decree 96/2026 in force; implementing arrangements require separate review
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 22 September differential review. Retained governed position: Legislative Decree 96/2026 was published on 1 June and took effect on 7 June 2026. Article 7 provides written category-average pay information within two months, with requests no more than once annually and annual notice of the right. The review covered the original decree; later amendments and implementing arrangements were not exhaustively audited.

Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 22 September differential review. Retained governed position: Lithuania enacted a pay-transparency amendment package.

Government bill no. 944 deposited in the Senate; accelerated procedure, not enacted law
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 22 September differential review. Retained governed position: France has an existing professional-equality index. Government bill no. 944, intended to transpose Directive (EU) 2023/970, was deposited in the Senate on 10 September 2026 and placed under the accelerated procedure. First reading remains pending, so the bill does not yet create new employer duties.
Recommended next step
Keep the existing equality-index workflow active. Map payroll, equal-value categories and recruitment fields to the proposal, but activate new duties only after final enactment and decree review.
Suggested owner
HR lead with French employment counsel
Timing / condition
Monitor Senate first reading and amendments now; no bill-based employer deadline applies before enactment.
Preparatory government work and opposition motion documented
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 22 September differential review. Retained governed position: The government answer reported on 16 July 2026 describes preparatory transposition work. A Die Linke motion reported on 9 September calls for legislation; it is an opposition motion, not a government bill or enacted act. The cited review does not verify comprehensive enacted transposition.
Recommended next step
Keep the existing German information and equal-pay controls; prepare an implementation register that only activates new duties after an enacted text is confirmed.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
Prepare now; confirm national commencement before applying a new deadline.
Recruitment duties active; wider UC127 proposal remains a draft
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 22 September differential review. Retained governed position: Recruitment amendments apply from 24 December 2025: initial pay or range information, gender-neutral recruitment wording and a restriction on salary-history questions. The official government register separately lists wider proposal UC127 as a draft. This bounded review does not establish complete enacted transposition.
Recommended next step
Audit job advertisements and information sent before interviews; keep the wider reporting design marked as draft.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
Recruitment duties already apply; Q4 2026 is a government planning date.
Existing register and audit rules confirmed; wider transposition not established
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 22 September differential review. Retained governed position: The consolidated Royal Decree 902/2020 requires a pay register for all companies, including management and senior executives. Registers include sex-disaggregated means and medians; pay audits form part of equality plans. A prior Directive consultation ran from 24 April to 8 May 2026 and is closed; that historical consultation does not prove there was no later legislation.
Recommended next step
Add a consultation checkpoint before payroll signs off a register change; retain the invitation, consultation record and final register.
Suggested owner

Timing / condition
At least ten days before the register is created or modified.
Government bill awaits both chambers; start date conditional
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 22 September differential review. Retained governed position: The Dutch government page states that both parliamentary chambers still need to approve Bill 36949. The planned 1 January 2027 start remains conditional on that legislative process and is not a confirmed enacted effective date.
Recommended next step

Existing biennial pay-structure report for covered 50+ employers; full transposition not confirmed
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 22 September differential review. Retained governed position: Existing Belgian guidance requires a pay-structure analysis every two financial years for covered employers averaging at least 50 workers: abbreviated model for 50–99, full model from 100. The mediator is optional.
Recommended next step
Confirm the statutory headcount calculation and use the correct model; schedule presentation to the works council or trade-union delegation.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
Biennial reporting cycle; derive the next delivery from the employer’s financial years and consultation timetable.
Renegotiation and preparation documented; final legislation not verified
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 22 September differential review. Retained governed position: The government's no-bill and renegotiation announcement was on 26 March 2026. The 8 June announcement concerned resumed preparation and promotional work through the Equality Ombudsman. Guidance updated on 17 June said legislation was incomplete. These dated records do not establish an exhaustive September legislative status.
Recommended next step
Maintain the annual pay-survey workflow and documented equal-value grouping; keep draft reporting fields separate.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
Continue the existing annual cycle; no new enacted commencement date confirmed here.
Ministerial answer clarifies proposed reporting; not enacted law
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 22 September differential review. Retained governed position: The ministerial answer dated 27 August 2026 describes proposed reporting for certain employers with 50–99 workers where the same function includes at least eight men and eight women. This is not blanket coverage of every employer with 50+ workers, and enactment is not established by the answer.
Recommended next step

Timing / condition
The reviewed 2031 proposal is conditional; confirm final law before implementation.
8 measures notified; economy-wide completeness not established
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 22 September differential review. Retained governed position: EUR-Lex listed eight Austrian measures, but the notification set includes limited or public-sector material and does not establish complete economy-wide transposition. Existing salary-range advertising and equality duties continue.
Recommended next step
Prepare the anonymised report, but obtain the current section 63 scope before deciding coverage for exactly 150 workers.
Suggested owner

Timing / condition
Covered reports go to worker representatives in Q1 following the reporting year; exact 150-worker boundary remains open.
Government-approved transposition proposal; enactment not verified
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 22 September differential review. Retained governed position: The Ministry of Labour page, updated on 31 August 2026, confirms government approval of the transposition proposal. The proposal is a substantive legislative step, but government approval does not establish enacted law or a general effective date.
Recommended next step
Build a gap between current payroll data and the proposed equal-value reporting fields; retain proposal labels in management papers.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
2028 for 150+ and 2031 for 100–149 remain proposed first-report years.
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 22 September differential review. Retained governed position: The official Labour Code text inspected on 13 September 2026 retains section 12 on equal treatment in remuneration and assessment of equal-value work; the displayed consolidation is dated 28 February 2025. This review does not verify September transposition. The autumn programme remained inaccessible behind CAPTCHA. The separate 11 September EUR-Lex observation of zero notified Hungarian measures is unchanged and does not prove that domestic legislation or proposals are absent.
Recommended next step
Use current equal-treatment controls and ask local counsel for the enacted national text before activating a new reporting date.
Existing equal-pay law applies; partial-transposition consultation draft
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 22 September differential review. Retained governed position: BTE Separata 26/2026 of 5 August contains an official partial-transposition draft whose 20-day consultation period has elapsed. It proposes pre-contract pay information, a salary-history ban, information rights and reporting for employers with 50+ workers. Existing Law 60/2018 remains separate from these proposals.
Recommended next step
Continue existing equal-pay duties and keep a draft-to-final comparison before changing employer thresholds or reporting schedules.

Timing / condition
Prepare now; confirm national commencement before applying a new deadline.
Existing 50+ gender-pay-gap reporting active; current full-transposition status not verified
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 22 September differential review. Retained governed position: Existing Irish gender-pay-gap reporting remains separate from full Directive transposition. In the official 16 June 2026 answer, the Minister confirmed delayed full transposition and continuing annual publication; central-portal filing was described as following an amendment. The 13 September review read that answer, the consolidation dated 31 May 2025 and the original draft Heads 4 and 5. September enactment and mandatory portal commencement remain unverified.
Recommended next step
Continue the existing gender-pay-gap reporting workflow and keep Directive-specific recruitment, worker-request and equal-value changes in a controlled pending-law plan.
Suggested owner
HR lead with Irish employment counsel
Timing / condition
Monitor the Oireachtas and Irish Statute Book continuously; do not treat the updated consolidation date as transposition.
L445/2026 in Senate committees; procedural dates are not employer deadlines
Finding
The Senate record now lists a 60-day tacit-adoption period ending 17 October 2026, replacing the previously displayed 2 October date. L445/2026 still remains in permanent committees. This is a parliamentary milestone, not an employer compliance date or enacted transposition.
Recommended next step
Keep L445/2026 in the draft register, prepare the data model, and wait for final enactment and commencement before activating new thresholds or deadlines.
Suggested owner

Timing / condition
Monitor the revised 17 October 2026 parliamentary milestone; no new employer deadline is confirmed.
Consultation closed; final enactment not established by the record
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 22 September differential review. Retained governed position: Official consultation 12386 ran from 19 May to 18 June 2026 and is inactive. Results are dated 11 August; the final Council of Ministers act field was blank in the reviewed record. This supports a completion-proposal update, not a claim of enacted comprehensive transposition.
Recommended next step
Compare the final adopted text, when available, with the consultation; do not treat stakeholder comments as law.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
Prepare now; confirm national commencement before applying a new deadline.
Job-evaluation guidance available; legislative alignment in progress
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 22 September differential review. Retained governed position: The ministry provides job-evaluation models for small, medium and large enterprises, including guidance dated 9 September 2026. The models assess the job rather than the person. Labour Act alignment is described as in progress; preparatory guidance is not evidence that transposition is already in force.
Recommended next step
Select the model matching employer size and test a small set of real job descriptions with documented factor evidence.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
Preparation can begin now; binding dates require the final law.
Ministry plans transposition by end-2026; final enactment not verified
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 22 September differential review. Retained governed position: On 11 September the ministry announced planned pay-transparency transposition by the end of 2026. This adds a dated national plan to the previous notification-only brief; enactment is not established.
Recommended next step
Assign a Slovenian implementation owner and prepare job categories and payroll inputs while monitoring Uradni list for the final act.

Timing / condition
End of 2026 is the ministry’s planning target, not an employer deadline.
Partial pay-transparency duties active; broader package not transposed in ministry guidance
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 22 September differential review. Retained governed position: The ministry confirms amendments effective 13 July 2026: written pay or range information before the first interview, a salary-history ban, the right to discuss one's own pay and equal pay for the same or equivalent work absent objective gender-neutral justification. Current ministry guidance distinguishes wider Directive duties not yet transposed. Direct statutory article-by-article verification was limited by the legal-register page.
Recommended next step
Check pay information provided before interviews and salary-history questions; keep wider reporting fields in preparation.
Suggested owner

Timing / condition
Current partial duties apply now; no new full-package commencement confirmed.
TAP 26-TA-700 remains a draft in the reviewed record
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 22 September differential review. Retained governed position: The TAP record documents consultation from 26 March to 9 April, coordination from 27 June to 10 July and opinions on 14 July 2026. The reviewed draft is a planning input; its thresholds and reporting dates are not presented as binding employer duties.
Recommended next step

Draft 2027/2031 dates are not confirmed employer deadlines.
Law 5316/2026 published; confirm applicable commencement provisions
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 22 September differential review. Retained governed position: The parliamentary record confirms Law 5316/2026, voted on 2 July and published in Gazette 105 A on 6 July 2026. EUR-Lex records notification on 23 July with a national declaration of completion. These publication and notification records do not independently establish every operative commencement or reporting clause, and national notification is not a Commission conformity assessment.
Recommended next step
Have local counsel identify the applicable articles and filing instructions for each legal entity before setting its deadline.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
Entity-specific commencement and filing date still require confirmation.
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 22 September differential review. Retained governed position: The official consultation was published on 5 November 2025 and closed on 4 December 2025. Results and a revised bill are available. Article 36 proposes commencement on future Gazette publication; this clause does not establish that publication or commencement has occurred.
Recommended next step

Consultation is no longer open; no final commencement verified in this source.
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 22 September differential review. Retained governed position: Malta published Legal Notice 173/2026 on 5 June 2026. Regulation 6 requires a written information response within eight days; requests in 2026 concern 2026 pay. Publication is established, but this review did not independently establish a commencement clause or exhaustively check later amendments.

Parliamentary discussion documented; enacted transposition not verified
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 22 September differential review. Retained governed position: The Chamber of Deputies records Labour Committee discussion on 24 June 2026. The cited review does not verify comprehensive enacted transposition, but the committee record means a categorical pre-draft or no-bill description is not justified. The review is not an exhaustive search for later legislation.
Recommended next step
Prepare equal-value categories and a source-backed legal change register; await the final Legilux text for new obligations.
Suggested owner

Great Britain 250+ gender-pay-gap reporting active
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 22 September differential review. Retained governed position: The statutory regime described here covers England, Scotland and Wales, not the whole United Kingdom as one undifferentiated rule. Covered employers with 250 or more relevant employees report annually; private and voluntary-sector employers use a 5 April snapshot and publish by 4 April of the following year, while public authorities generally use 31 March and publish by 30 March.
Recommended next step
Keep the mandatory report calendar and prepare a separate action plan with owners, measurable actions and review dates. Label its present voluntary status.
Suggested owner

Federal equal-pay baseline plus state and local transparency rules
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 22 September differential review. Retained governed position: The federal Equal Pay Act does not use an EU-style 100-worker reporting threshold. Title VII generally applies from 15 employees. EEO-1 demographic reporting generally covers employers with 100 or more employees and qualifying federal contractors with 50 or more employees and a qualifying contract; it is not a universal pay-gap report.
Recommended next step
Check recruiter and agency adverts, California remote eligibility, and payroll/labour-contractor report scope; retain the certified submission receipt.

WGEA 100+ reporting active; 500+ target duties also apply
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 22 September differential review. Retained governed position: Relevant Australian employers with 100 or more employees report annually to WGEA. A continuing-employer rule can keep an employer in scope while it remains at 80 or more employees, and employers with 500 or more employees have additional gender-equality target duties.
Recommended next step
Keep CEO approval, governing-body delivery evidence and a three-target register with baselines, owners and the entity’s selection date.

Standard reporting window 1 April–31 May; target period runs three years from selection. Confirm the entity’s portal cycle.
Federal 10+ proactive pay equity and separate 100+ LEEP reporting active
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 22 September differential review. Retained governed position: In federally regulated Canada, the Pay Equity Act generally applies from 10 employees and requires a proactive pay-equity process. The Legislated Employment Equity Program is a separate annual reporting layer generally for covered private-sector employers with 100 or more employees; provincial regimes must be assessed separately.
Recommended next step
Record why the entity is federally regulated, the date it became subject, the plan’s due date and the next five-year update; keep LEEP separate.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
Entity-specific three- and five-year plan clocks; verify annual-statement and LEEP dates separately.
100+ semi-annual reporting active; sixth-report availability not confirmed
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 22 September differential review. Retained governed position: Law 14,611/2023 requires semi-annual transparency reporting by private legal entities with 100+ employees, with anonymisation and mitigation measures. The sixth-report data-update window ran from 3 to 31 August 2026. As of the 11 September public-source review, MTE's main page still referred to the fifth report; availability of the sixth report in an authenticated employer account was not verified.
Recommended next step
Check the employer’s official portal for its report, validate the figures and prepare the required publication; retain evidence of availability and the published report.
Suggested owner

Gender wage-gap disclosure applies to 101+ regular workers from 1 April 2026
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 22 September differential review. Retained governed position: From 1 April 2026, employers with 101+ regular workers must disclose the gender wage gap and the proportion of women in management. Employers with 101–300 add at least one other required indicator; 301+ add at least one from each of the two designated categories. The first covered financial year ends on or after 1 April 2026; publication is generally around three months after the next financial year begins.
Recommended next step
Prepare both indicators and the size-appropriate additional item(s). Record the first financial year ending on/after 1 April 2026 and the publication date.
Suggested owner

Timing / condition
Generally about three months after the following financial year begins. A June 2026 year-end points to approximately September 2026, not a universal 30 September deadline.
Equal-value pay applies under the Act; the old under-five-worker exemption was deleted
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 22 September differential review. Retained governed position: Article 8 of the Equal Employment Opportunity and Work-Family Balance Assistance Act requires equal pay for work of equal value within the same business. The former under-five-worker exception in Enforcement Decree article 2(2) was deleted in 2018. Check the remaining specific exceptions, including cohabiting-relative-only businesses and domestic workers, against the authoritative Korean text.
Recommended next step
Review small establishments previously excluded by the tracker. Compare actual skill, effort, responsibility and working conditions within the business.

Correct scope now; no universal public-report filing date follows from article 8.
Annual reporting active for 519+ employers and specified entities
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 22 September differential review. Retained governed position: Israel's Equal Pay law requires annual gender-pay-gap analysis and publication for employers with more than 518 employees and for specified bodies covered by the amendment. Coverage is not a universal private-employer rule and must be tested by entity type. The current-year deadline and any extension remain unverified in this review.
Recommended next step
Obtain the Commission’s current notice for the covered year before deciding whether the report is late; preserve internal and public reports with privacy controls.

2026 EEA2/EEA4 reporting open for designated employers
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 22 September differential review. Retained governed position: The live Department portal confirms the 2026 EEA2/EEA4 cycle is open. Listed designated employers include those with 50+ employees, organs of state and employers with 1–49 employees designated by collective agreement. This is a fresh operational review; the 2025 regulations were not reread successfully in this pass.

Code on Wages section 3 in force; no universal public reporting
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 22 September differential review. Retained governed position: Section 3 of India's Code on Wages commenced on 21 November 2025 and prohibits gender discrimination in wages for the same or similar work and in recruitment, subject to statutory exceptions. It has no general headcount threshold and does not create a universal public employer pay-gap report.
Recommended next step
Review recruitment templates and wage-comparison controls for gender-inclusive application; confirm the appropriate central/state rules for the establishment.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
Apply the existing section 3 controls now; no universal pay-gap filing date asserted.
Tripartite fair-employment guidance active; Workplace Fairness Act enacted but not yet in force
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 22 September differential review. Retained governed position: Singapore's current employer baseline remains the applicable fair-employment and tripartite framework. The Workplace Fairness Act has been enacted and is targeted to take effect at end-2027. A future exemption for employers with fewer than 25 employees has been announced, but those future statutory provisions are not yet operative. No universal public pay-gap report applies.
Recommended next step
Review recruitment criteria and grievance handling now; keep an owner for the final commencement notice and implementation rules.
Suggested owner

Timing / condition
End-2027 target remains subject to commencement arrangements; no universal report deadline.
100+ headcount equal-pay analysis framework active through 30 June 2032
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 22 September differential review. Retained governed position: The Swiss threshold is 100 employees by headcount, not full-time equivalents, and apprentices are excluded. Analysis, independent verification and employee communication are separate steps. A repeat after four years is required only when the prior analysis did not demonstrate equal pay; the statutory framework is time-limited through 30 June 2032.
Recommended next step
Record the last analysis result, workforce at the year start, independent-review evidence and next required date; do not copy another employer’s 2025–2027 sequence.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
Derive the date from first coverage or the last failed analysis; framework runs through 30 June 2032.
National 50+ reporting framework in force; transition depends on prior certification
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 22 September differential review. Retained governed position: Law 53/2026 and consolidated Law 150/2020 establish reporting every three years for entities averaging at least 50 staff annually. Regulation 946/2026 and regulator guidance were read on 13 September: submit job classification, sex-disaggregated pay analysis and a remediation plan where applicable. The earlier EEA-incorporation observation remains dated 3 September and was not reverified.
Recommended next step
Locate the latest certificate or confirmation and approval of the equality plan; calculate the entity’s deadline from that evidence.
Suggested owner

Timing / condition
Prior certificate/confirmation: three years after the latest one. Neither held: before 1 March 2027.
Amended equal-pay and pay-equity claim process active; no universal public report
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 22 September differential review. Retained governed position: New Zealand's amended Equal Pay Act requires the current pay-equity claim eligibility and response process. A pay-equity claim generally concerns work performed by a workforce that is at least 70% female and has been predominantly female for at least ten consecutive years. The employer acknowledges a claim within five working days and generally decides whether it is arguable within 60 working days.
Recommended next step
Create a receipt-date log, acknowledgement template, union-notification privacy check and decision calendar; obtain legal review before discontinuing a claim.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
5 working days to acknowledge; 60 working days to decide. Extension: up to 20 working days for one employer, 80 for multiple employers, subject to the guidance conditions.
Job-category and equal-value pay framework active without a general headcount threshold
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 22 September differential review. Retained governed position: Law 30,709 requires salary-policy controls and job-category/function schedules supporting non-discriminatory remuneration. The official Congress explanation also requires informing workers of the salary policy. The previously stated 4 August 2026 Supreme Court development could not be substantiated and is withdrawn; it must not be relied on as legal evidence.
Recommended next step
Keep approved category/function schedules and evidence that workers received the salary policy. Obtain the actual judgment before using any case-law claim in a pay decision.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
Maintain the existing controls now; no new court-created deadline is asserted.
Same-work pay rule active; 10+ complaint procedure and 200+ role register
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 22 September differential review. Retained governed position: Chile's statutory rule addresses equal remuneration for the same work and should not be described as a general equal-value regime. Employers with 10 or more workers require the applicable internal complaint procedure with a written response within 30 days; employers with 200 or more workers must maintain the prescribed register of positions or functions. No universal public pay-gap report applies.
Recommended next step
Check the internal regulations and who receives a pay complaint; ensure the response explains the objective basis and is retained.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
Reasoned written response within 30 days of the complaint.
Equal-remuneration baseline; separate confidential social balance for more than 300 workers
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 22 September differential review. Retained governed position: The equal-remuneration baseline is separate from Law 25,877 articles 25–27. The latter require an annual confidential social balance for employers with more than 300 workers (301+), not 300 or more. Delivery to the relevant union is within 30 days of preparation, with a confidential copy to the labour authority.
Recommended next step
Recheck entities with exactly 300 workers. For covered employers, assign preparation, union delivery and confidential authority-copy responsibilities.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
Annual balance; union delivery within 30 days after preparation. Article 27 governs first application after reaching the statutory size.

Act No. 76/2026 Coll. in force; transitional information rules apply
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 21 September differential review. Current governed position remains: Act No. 76/2026 Coll. took effect on 7 June 2026. Section 6 separates information about an employee's own pay from sex-disaggregated category averages. Under section 18(2), category-average information is first provided for 2027. This does not create a separate 1 January commencement date for own-pay information.

Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 21 September differential review. Current governed position remains: Legislative Decree 96/2026 was published on 1 June and took effect on 7 June 2026. Article 7 provides written category-average pay information within two months, with requests no more than once annually and annual notice of the right.

Government bill no. 944 deposited in the Senate; accelerated procedure, not enacted law
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 21 September differential review. Current governed position remains: France has an existing professional-equality index. Government bill no. 944, intended to transpose Directive (EU) 2023/970, was deposited in the Senate on 10 September 2026 and placed under the accelerated procedure. First reading remains pending, so the bill does not yet create new employer duties.

Timing / condition
Monitor Senate first reading and amendments now; no bill-based employer deadline applies before enactment.
Preparatory government work and opposition motion documented
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 21 September differential review. Current governed position remains: The government answer reported on 16 July 2026 describes preparatory transposition work. A Die Linke motion reported on 9 September calls for legislation; it is an opposition motion, not a government bill or enacted act. The cited review does not verify comprehensive enacted transposition.
Recommended next step
Keep the existing German information and equal-pay controls; prepare an implementation register that only activates new duties after an enacted text is confirmed.

Timing / condition
Prepare now; confirm national commencement before applying a new deadline.
Recruitment duties active; wider UC127 proposal remains a draft
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 21 September differential review. Current governed position remains: Recruitment amendments apply from 24 December 2025: initial pay or range information, gender-neutral recruitment wording and a restriction on salary-history questions. The official government register separately lists wider proposal UC127 as a draft. This bounded review does not establish complete enacted transposition.
Recommended next step
Audit job advertisements and information sent before interviews; keep the wider reporting design marked as draft.
Suggested owner

Timing / condition
Recruitment duties already apply; Q4 2026 is a government planning date.
Existing register and audit rules confirmed; wider transposition not established
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 21 September differential review. Current governed position remains: The consolidated Royal Decree 902/2020 requires a pay register for all companies, including management and senior executives. Registers include sex-disaggregated means and medians; pay audits form part of equality plans. A prior Directive consultation ran from 24 April to 8 May 2026 and is closed; that historical consultation does not prove there was no later legislation.
Recommended next step

Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 21 September differential review. Current governed position remains: The Dutch government page states that both parliamentary chambers still need to approve Bill 36949.

Existing biennial pay-structure report for covered 50+ employers; full transposition not confirmed
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 21 September differential review. Current governed position remains: Existing Belgian guidance requires a pay-structure analysis every two financial years for covered employers averaging at least 50 workers: abbreviated model for 50–99, full model from 100. The mediator is optional.
Recommended next step
Confirm the statutory headcount calculation and use the correct model; schedule presentation to the works council or trade-union delegation.

Renegotiation and preparation documented; final legislation not verified
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 21 September differential review. Current governed position remains: The government's no-bill and renegotiation announcement was on 26 March 2026. The 8 June announcement concerned resumed preparation and promotional work through the Equality Ombudsman. Guidance updated on 17 June said legislation was incomplete. These dated records do not establish an exhaustive September legislative status.

Ministerial answer clarifies proposed reporting; not enacted law
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 21 September differential review. Current governed position remains: The ministerial answer dated 27 August 2026 describes proposed reporting for certain employers with 50–99 workers where the same function includes at least eight men and eight women. This is not blanket coverage of every employer with 50+ workers, and enactment is not established by the answer.

No superseding official act was confirmed in the 21 September differential review. Current governed position remains: EUR-Lex listed eight Austrian measures, but the notification set includes limited or public-sector material and does not establish complete economy-wide transposition. Existing salary-range advertising and equality duties continue.
Recommended next step
Prepare the anonymised report, but obtain the current section 63 scope before deciding coverage for exactly 150 workers.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
Covered reports go to worker representatives in Q1 following the reporting year; exact 150-worker boundary remains open.
Government-approved transposition proposal; enactment not verified
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 21 September differential review. Current governed position remains: The Ministry of Labour page, updated on 31 August 2026, confirms government approval of the transposition proposal. The proposal is a substantive legislative step, but government approval does not establish enacted law or a general effective date.
Recommended next step
Build a gap between current payroll data and the proposed equal-value reporting fields; retain proposal labels in management papers.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
2028 for 150+ and 2031 for 100–149 remain proposed first-report years.
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 21 September differential review. Current governed position remains: The official Labour Code text inspected on 13 September 2026 retains section 12 on equal treatment in remuneration and assessment of equal-value work; the displayed consolidation is dated 28 February 2025. This review does not verify September transposition. The autumn programme remained inaccessible behind CAPTCHA. The separate 11 September EUR-Lex observation of zero notified Hungarian measures is unchanged and does not prove that domestic legislation or proposals are absent.
Recommended next step
Use current equal-treatment controls and ask local counsel for the enacted national text before activating a new reporting date.
Existing equal-pay law applies; partial-transposition consultation draft
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 21 September differential review. Current governed position remains: BTE Separata 26/2026 of 5 August contains an official partial-transposition draft whose 20-day consultation period has elapsed. It proposes pre-contract pay information, a salary-history ban, information rights and reporting for employers with 50+ workers. Existing Law 60/2018 remains separate from these proposals.
Recommended next step
Continue existing equal-pay duties and keep a draft-to-final comparison before changing employer thresholds or reporting schedules.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
Prepare now; confirm national commencement before applying a new deadline.
Existing 50+ gender-pay-gap reporting active; current full-transposition status not verified
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 21 September differential review. Current governed position remains: Existing Irish gender-pay-gap reporting remains separate from full Directive transposition. In the official 16 June 2026 answer, the Minister confirmed delayed full transposition and continuing annual publication; central-portal filing was described as following an amendment. The 13 September review read that answer, the consolidation dated 31 May 2025 and the original draft Heads 4 and 5. September enactment and mandatory portal commencement remain unverified.
Recommended next step
Continue the existing gender-pay-gap reporting workflow and keep Directive-specific recruitment, worker-request and equal-value changes in a controlled pending-law plan.
Suggested owner
HR lead with Irish employment counsel
Timing / condition
Monitor the Oireachtas and Irish Statute Book continuously; do not treat the updated consolidation date as transposition.
L445/2026 in Senate committees; procedural dates are not employer deadlines
Finding
The Senate record for urgent proposal L445/2026 now lists a favourable budget-committee opinion issued on 15 September. The proposal remains in permanent committees, and the 2 October tacit-adoption date is a parliamentary milestone rather than an employer deadline or proof of enactment.
Recommended next step
Keep L445/2026 in the draft register, prepare the data model, and wait for final enactment and commencement before activating new thresholds or deadlines.
Suggested owner
Romania HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
Monitor the 2 October 2026 parliamentary milestone; no new employer deadline is confirmed.
Consultation closed; final enactment not established by the record
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 21 September differential review. Current governed position remains: Official consultation 12386 ran from 19 May to 18 June 2026 and is inactive. Results are dated 11 August; the final Council of Ministers act field was blank in the reviewed record. This supports a completion-proposal update, not a claim of enacted comprehensive transposition.
Recommended next step
Compare the final adopted text, when available, with the consultation; do not treat stakeholder comments as law.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
Prepare now; confirm national commencement before applying a new deadline.
Job-evaluation guidance available; legislative alignment in progress
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 21 September differential review. Current governed position remains: The ministry provides job-evaluation models for small, medium and large enterprises, including guidance dated 9 September 2026. The models assess the job rather than the person. Labour Act alignment is described as in progress; preparatory guidance is not evidence that transposition is already in force.
Recommended next step
Select the model matching employer size and test a small set of real job descriptions with documented factor evidence.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
Preparation can begin now; binding dates require the final law.
Ministry plans transposition by end-2026; final enactment not verified
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 21 September differential review. Current governed position remains: On 11 September the ministry announced planned pay-transparency transposition by the end of 2026. This adds a dated national plan to the previous notification-only brief; enactment is not established.
Recommended next step
Assign a Slovenian implementation owner and prepare job categories and payroll inputs while monitoring Uradni list for the final act.
Suggested owner

Timing / condition
End of 2026 is the ministry’s planning target, not an employer deadline.
Partial pay-transparency duties active; broader package not transposed in ministry guidance
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 21 September differential review. Current governed position remains: The ministry confirms amendments effective 13 July 2026: written pay or range information before the first interview, a salary-history ban, the right to discuss one's own pay and equal pay for the same or equivalent work absent objective gender-neutral justification. Current ministry guidance distinguishes wider Directive duties not yet transposed. Direct statutory article-by-article verification was limited by the legal-register page.
Recommended next step
Check pay information provided before interviews and salary-history questions; keep wider reporting fields in preparation.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
Current partial duties apply now; no new full-package commencement confirmed.
TAP 26-TA-700 remains a draft in the reviewed record
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 21 September differential review. Current governed position remains: The TAP record documents consultation from 26 March to 9 April, coordination from 27 June to 10 July and opinions on 14 July 2026. The reviewed draft is a planning input; its thresholds and reporting dates are not presented as binding employer duties.
Recommended next step
Obtain the current TAP history and final gazette publication before adopting the draft reporting schedule.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
Draft 2027/2031 dates are not confirmed employer deadlines.
Law 5316/2026 published; confirm applicable commencement provisions
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 21 September differential review. Current governed position remains: The parliamentary record confirms Law 5316/2026, voted on 2 July and published in Gazette 105 A on 6 July 2026. EUR-Lex records notification on 23 July with a national declaration of completion. These publication and notification records do not independently establish every operative commencement or reporting clause, and national notification is not a Commission conformity assessment.
Recommended next step
Have local counsel identify the applicable articles and filing instructions for each legal entity before setting its deadline.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
Entity-specific commencement and filing date still require confirmation.
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 21 September differential review. Current governed position remains: The official consultation was published on 5 November 2025 and closed on 4 December 2025. Results and a revised bill are available. Article 36 proposes commencement on future Gazette publication; this clause does not establish that publication or commencement has occurred.
Recommended next step
Use the proposal to prepare data; verify the House and Gazette record before changing contractual information or statutory dates.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
Consultation is no longer open; no final commencement verified in this source.
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 21 September differential review. Current governed position remains: Malta published Legal Notice 173/2026 on 5 June 2026. Regulation 6 requires a written information response within eight days; requests in 2026 concern 2026 pay. Publication is established, but this review did not independently establish a commencement clause or exhaustively check later amendments.
Recommended next step
Preserve the full 2026 payroll period and obtain written filing instructions resolving regulation 9(5) before submission.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
First reports by 7 June 2027 / 7 June 2031; resolve the additional timing clause locally.
Parliamentary discussion documented; enacted transposition not verified
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 21 September differential review. Current governed position remains: The Chamber of Deputies records Labour Committee discussion on 24 June 2026. The cited review does not verify comprehensive enacted transposition, but the committee record means a categorical pre-draft or no-bill description is not justified. The review is not an exhaustive search for later legislation.
Recommended next step
Prepare equal-value categories and a source-backed legal change register; await the final Legilux text for new obligations.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
Prepare now; confirm national commencement before applying a new deadline.
Great Britain 250+ gender-pay-gap reporting active
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 21 September differential review. Current governed position remains: The statutory regime described here covers England, Scotland and Wales, not the whole United Kingdom as one undifferentiated rule. Covered employers with 250 or more relevant employees report annually; private and voluntary-sector employers use a 5 April snapshot and publish by 4 April of the following year, while public authorities generally use 31 March and publish by 30 March.
Recommended next step
Keep the mandatory report calendar and prepare a separate action plan with owners, measurable actions and review dates. Label its present voluntary status.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
Current snapshot cycle: 30 March 2027 for covered public bodies; 4 April 2027 for private/voluntary employers.
Federal equal-pay baseline plus state and local transparency rules
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 21 September differential review. Current governed position remains: The federal Equal Pay Act does not use an EU-style 100-worker reporting threshold. Title VII generally applies from 15 employees. EEO-1 demographic reporting generally covers employers with 100 or more employees and qualifying federal contractors with 50 or more employees and a qualifying contract; it is not a universal pay-gap report.
Recommended next step
Check recruiter and agency adverts, California remote eligibility, and payroll/labour-contractor report scope; retain the certified submission receipt.
Suggested owner

Timing / condition
California 2025-data deadline was 13 May 2026: check any missing receipt now. Pay scale belongs in each covered posting.
WGEA 100+ reporting active; 500+ target duties also apply
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 21 September differential review. Current governed position remains: Relevant Australian employers with 100 or more employees report annually to WGEA. A continuing-employer rule can keep an employer in scope while it remains at 80 or more employees, and employers with 500 or more employees have additional gender-equality target duties.
Recommended next step
Keep CEO approval, governing-body delivery evidence and a three-target register with baselines, owners and the entity’s selection date.
Suggested owner
CEO, HR reporting lead and governing body
Timing / condition
Standard reporting window 1 April–31 May; target period runs three years from selection. Confirm the entity’s portal cycle.
Federal 10+ proactive pay equity and separate 100+ LEEP reporting active
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 21 September differential review. Current governed position remains: In federally regulated Canada, the Pay Equity Act generally applies from 10 employees and requires a proactive pay-equity process. The Legislated Employment Equity Program is a separate annual reporting layer generally for covered private-sector employers with 100 or more employees; provincial regimes must be assessed separately.
Recommended next step
Record why the entity is federally regulated, the date it became subject, the plan’s due date and the next five-year update; keep LEEP separate.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
Entity-specific three- and five-year plan clocks; verify annual-statement and LEEP dates separately.
100+ semi-annual reporting active; sixth-report availability not confirmed
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 21 September differential review. Current governed position remains: Law 14,611/2023 requires semi-annual transparency reporting by private legal entities with 100+ employees, with anonymisation and mitigation measures. The sixth-report data-update window ran from 3 to 31 August 2026. As of the 11 September public-source review, MTE's main page still referred to the fifth report; availability of the sixth report in an authenticated employer account was not verified.
Recommended next step
Check the employer’s official portal for its report, validate the figures and prepare the required publication; retain evidence of availability and the published report.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
September publication cycle; a precise availability date remains unverified.
Gender wage-gap disclosure applies to 101+ regular workers from 1 April 2026
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 21 September differential review. Current governed position remains: From 1 April 2026, employers with 101+ regular workers must disclose the gender wage gap and the proportion of women in management. Employers with 101–300 add at least one other required indicator; 301+ add at least one from each of the two designated categories. The first covered financial year ends on or after 1 April 2026; publication is generally around three months after the next financial year begins.
Recommended next step
Prepare both indicators and the size-appropriate additional item(s). Record the first financial year ending on/after 1 April 2026 and the publication date.
Suggested owner
HR and payroll lead
Timing / condition
Generally about three months after the following financial year begins. A June 2026 year-end points to approximately September 2026, not a universal 30 September deadline.
Equal-value pay applies under the Act; the old under-five-worker exemption was deleted
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 21 September differential review. Current governed position remains: Article 8 of the Equal Employment Opportunity and Work-Family Balance Assistance Act requires equal pay for work of equal value within the same business. The former under-five-worker exception in Enforcement Decree article 2(2) was deleted in 2018. Check the remaining specific exceptions, including cohabiting-relative-only businesses and domestic workers, against the authoritative Korean text.
Recommended next step
Review small establishments previously excluded by the tracker. Compare actual skill, effort, responsibility and working conditions within the business.
Suggested owner

Timing / condition
Correct scope now; no universal public-report filing date follows from article 8.
Annual reporting active for 519+ employers and specified entities
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 21 September differential review. Current governed position remains: Israel's Equal Pay law requires annual gender-pay-gap analysis and publication for employers with more than 518 employees and for specified bodies covered by the amendment. Coverage is not a universal private-employer rule and must be tested by entity type. The current-year deadline and any extension remain unverified in this review.
Recommended next step
Obtain the Commission’s current notice for the covered year before deciding whether the report is late; preserve internal and public reports with privacy controls.
Suggested owner

2026 EEA2/EEA4 reporting open for designated employers
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 21 September differential review. Current governed position remains: The live Department portal confirms the 2026 EEA2/EEA4 cycle is open. Listed designated employers include those with 50+ employees, organs of state and employers with 1–49 employees designated by collective agreement. This is a fresh operational review; the 2025 regulations were not reread successfully in this pass.
Recommended next step
Use a pre-submission checklist for figures and CEO approval, then save the acknowledgement. Select online or manual delivery deliberately.

Code on Wages section 3 in force; no universal public reporting
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 21 September differential review. Current governed position remains: Section 3 of India's Code on Wages commenced on 21 November 2025 and prohibits gender discrimination in wages for the same or similar work and in recruitment, subject to statutory exceptions. It has no general headcount threshold and does not create a universal public employer pay-gap report.
Recommended next step
Review recruitment templates and wage-comparison controls for gender-inclusive application; confirm the appropriate central/state rules for the establishment.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
Apply the existing section 3 controls now; no universal pay-gap filing date asserted.
Tripartite fair-employment guidance active; Workplace Fairness Act enacted but not yet in force
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 21 September differential review. Current governed position remains: Singapore's current employer baseline remains the applicable fair-employment and tripartite framework. The Workplace Fairness Act has been enacted and is targeted to take effect at end-2027. A future exemption for employers with fewer than 25 employees has been announced, but those future statutory provisions are not yet operative. No universal public pay-gap report applies.
Recommended next step
Review recruitment criteria and grievance handling now; keep an owner for the final commencement notice and implementation rules.
Suggested owner

Timing / condition
End-2027 target remains subject to commencement arrangements; no universal report deadline.
100+ headcount equal-pay analysis framework active through 30 June 2032
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 21 September differential review. Current governed position remains: The Swiss threshold is 100 employees by headcount, not full-time equivalents, and apprentices are excluded. Analysis, independent verification and employee communication are separate steps. A repeat after four years is required only when the prior analysis did not demonstrate equal pay; the statutory framework is time-limited through 30 June 2032.
Recommended next step
Record the last analysis result, workforce at the year start, independent-review evidence and next required date; do not copy another employer’s 2025–2027 sequence.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
Derive the date from first coverage or the last failed analysis; framework runs through 30 June 2032.
National 50+ reporting framework in force; transition depends on prior certification
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 21 September differential review. Current governed position remains: Law 53/2026 and consolidated Law 150/2020 establish reporting every three years for entities averaging at least 50 staff annually. Regulation 946/2026 and regulator guidance were read on 13 September: submit job classification, sex-disaggregated pay analysis and a remediation plan where applicable. The earlier EEA-incorporation observation remains dated 3 September and was not reverified.
Recommended next step
Locate the latest certificate or confirmation and approval of the equality plan; calculate the entity’s deadline from that evidence.
Suggested owner

Timing / condition
Prior certificate/confirmation: three years after the latest one. Neither held: before 1 March 2027.
Amended equal-pay and pay-equity claim process active; no universal public report
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 21 September differential review. Current governed position remains: New Zealand's amended Equal Pay Act requires the current pay-equity claim eligibility and response process. A pay-equity claim generally concerns work performed by a workforce that is at least 70% female and has been predominantly female for at least ten consecutive years. The employer acknowledges a claim within five working days and generally decides whether it is arguable within 60 working days.
Recommended next step
Create a receipt-date log, acknowledgement template, union-notification privacy check and decision calendar; obtain legal review before discontinuing a claim.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
5 working days to acknowledge; 60 working days to decide. Extension: up to 20 working days for one employer, 80 for multiple employers, subject to the guidance conditions.
Job-category and equal-value pay framework active without a general headcount threshold
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 21 September differential review. Current governed position remains: Law 30,709 requires salary-policy controls and job-category/function schedules supporting non-discriminatory remuneration. The official Congress explanation also requires informing workers of the salary policy. The previously stated 4 August 2026 Supreme Court development could not be substantiated and is withdrawn; it must not be relied on as legal evidence.
Recommended next step
Keep approved category/function schedules and evidence that workers received the salary policy. Obtain the actual judgment before using any case-law claim in a pay decision.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
Maintain the existing controls now; no new court-created deadline is asserted.
Same-work pay rule active; 10+ complaint procedure and 200+ role register
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 21 September differential review. Current governed position remains: Chile's statutory rule addresses equal remuneration for the same work and should not be described as a general equal-value regime. Employers with 10 or more workers require the applicable internal complaint procedure with a written response within 30 days; employers with 200 or more workers must maintain the prescribed register of positions or functions. No universal public pay-gap report applies.
Recommended next step
Check the internal regulations and who receives a pay complaint; ensure the response explains the objective basis and is retained.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
Reasoned written response within 30 days of the complaint.
Equal-remuneration baseline; separate confidential social balance for more than 300 workers
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in the 21 September differential review. Current governed position remains: The equal-remuneration baseline is separate from Law 25,877 articles 25–27. The latter require an annual confidential social balance for employers with more than 300 workers (301+), not 300 or more. Delivery to the relevant union is within 30 days of preparation, with a confidential copy to the labour authority.
Recommended next step
Recheck entities with exactly 300 workers. For covered employers, assign preparation, union delivery and confidential authority-copy responsibilities.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
Annual balance; union delivery within 30 days after preparation. Article 27 governs first application after reaching the statutory size.

No superseding official act was confirmed in today’s differential review. Retained substantive finding from 19 September: The parliamentary question and answer describe proposed reporting, including a conditional 50–99-worker category. They are not an enacted filing instruction.
Recommended next step
Keep a separate scenario for the proposed threshold; do not merge it into the current mandatory calendar.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
The reviewed 2031 proposal is conditional; confirm final law before implementation.
8 measures notified; economy-wide completeness not established
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in today’s differential review. Retained substantive finding from 19 September: Section 11a confirms a biennial anonymised income report and first-quarter delivery. Official guidance and the statutory-search wording disagree at exactly 150 workers; the current section 63 could not be fully retrieved.
Recommended next step
Prepare the anonymised report, but obtain the current section 63 scope before deciding coverage for exactly 150 workers.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
Covered reports go to worker representatives in Q1 following the reporting year; exact 150-worker boundary remains open.
Government-approved transposition proposal; enactment not verified
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in today’s differential review. Retained substantive finding from 19 September: The 31 August ministry announcement records a government-approved proposal. Its 2028/2031 reporting timetable still needs the final parliamentary act.
Recommended next step
Build a gap between current payroll data and the proposed equal-value reporting fields; retain proposal labels in management papers.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
2028 for 150+ and 2031 for 100–149 remain proposed first-report years.
No superseding official act was confirmed in today’s differential review. Retained substantive finding from 19 September: The verified Labour Code baseline is retained.

Recommended next step
Use current equal-treatment controls and ask local counsel for the enacted national text before activating a new reporting date.
Existing equal-pay law applies; partial-transposition consultation draft
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in today’s differential review. Retained substantive finding from 19 September: BTE Separata 26/2026 expressly labels the text a proposal for public consultation and partial transposition. Its proposed 50–249 reporting bracket is not a current legal instruction.
Recommended next step
Continue existing equal-pay duties and keep a draft-to-final comparison before changing employer thresholds or reporting schedules.
Suggested owner

Timing / condition
Prepare now; confirm national commencement before applying a new deadline.
Existing 50+ gender-pay-gap reporting active; current full-transposition status not verified
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in today’s differential review. Retained substantive finding from 19 September: The official administrative consolidation says the Employment Equality Act is current through 17 September 2026. The reviewed legislation programme and ministerial answer still do not identify an enacted Pay Transparency Directive transposition act.
Recommended next step
Continue the existing gender-pay-gap reporting workflow and keep Directive-specific recruitment, worker-request and equal-value changes in a controlled pending-law plan.
Suggested owner

Timing / condition
Monitor the Oireachtas and Irish Statute Book continuously; do not treat the updated consolidation date as transposition.
L445/2026 in Senate committees; procedural dates are not employer deadlines
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in today’s differential review. Retained substantive finding from 19 September: The Senate record still lists L445/2026 as in work before the permanent committees. It remains a legislative proposal, not enacted employer law.

Consultation closed; final enactment not established by the record
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in today’s differential review.

Job-evaluation guidance available; legislative alignment in progress
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in today’s differential review. Retained substantive finding from 19 September: The ministry lists job-evaluation tools for small, medium and large employers and updated 9 September supporting files. Tools support preparation; they do not prove enacted transposition.
Recommended next step
Select the model matching employer size and test a small set of real job descriptions with documented factor evidence.

Preparation can begin now; binding dates require the final law.
Ministry plans transposition by end-2026; final enactment not verified
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in today’s differential review. Retained substantive finding from 19 September: On 11 September the ministry announced planned pay-transparency transposition by the end of 2026. This adds a dated national plan to the previous notification-only brief; enactment is not established.
Recommended next step
Assign a Slovenian implementation owner and prepare job categories and payroll inputs while monitoring Uradni list for the final act.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
End of 2026 is the ministry’s planning target, not an employer deadline.
Partial pay-transparency duties active; broader package not transposed in ministry guidance
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in today’s differential review. Retained substantive finding from 19 September: The ministry separates active recruitment changes from the wider paused package. Older implementation-plan paragraphs on the same page should not be read as current enacted reporting.
Recommended next step
Check pay information provided before interviews and salary-history questions; keep wider reporting fields in preparation.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
Current partial duties apply now; no new full-package commencement confirmed.
TAP 26-TA-700 remains a draft in the reviewed record
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in today’s differential review. Retained substantive finding from 19 September: The retained TAP draft and proposed dates remain labelled as proposals. Today’s full draft retrieval failed, so a later adoption or revision could not be ruled out.
Recommended next step

Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
Draft 2027/2031 dates are not confirmed employer deadlines.
Law 5316/2026 published; confirm applicable commencement provisions
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in today’s differential review. Retained substantive finding from 19 September: The parliamentary record confirms Law 5316 and Gazette 105 A/6 July 2026. This review of the record does not close the outstanding article-by-article commencement and implementing-decision check.
Recommended next step
Have local counsel identify the applicable articles and filing instructions for each legal entity before setting its deadline.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
Entity-specific commencement and filing date still require confirmation.
No superseding official act was confirmed in today’s differential review. Retained substantive finding from 19 September: The official consultation is closed: published 5 November 2025, comments ended 4 December 2025. A bill titled “2026” is not by itself an enacted 2026 law.
Recommended next step
Use the proposal to prepare data; verify the House and Gazette record before changing contractual information or statutory dates.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
Consultation is no longer open; no final commencement verified in this source.
No superseding official act was confirmed in today’s differential review. Retained substantive finding from 19 September: Regulation 9 specifies the first reference periods explicitly: 2026 for 150+ and 2030 for 100–149. The separate fourteen-working-day wording still needs local operational clarification.
Recommended next step
Preserve the full 2026 payroll period and obtain written filing instructions resolving regulation 9(5) before submission.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
First reports by 7 June 2027 / 7 June 2031; resolve the additional timing clause locally.
Parliamentary discussion documented; enacted transposition not verified
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in today’s differential review. Retained substantive finding from 19 September: The Chamber record is a committee discussion requested by a political group. It cannot establish a transposition act or an employer commencement date.
Recommended next step
Prepare equal-value categories and a source-backed legal change register; await the final Legilux text for new obligations.
Suggested owner

Timing / condition
Prepare now; confirm national commencement before applying a new deadline.
Great Britain 250+ gender-pay-gap reporting active
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in today’s differential review. Retained substantive finding from 19 September: The 250+ Great Britain reporting duty is mandatory. Gender-pay-gap action plans are currently voluntary; the stated spring-2027 mandatory start is subject to legislation.
Recommended next step
Keep the mandatory report calendar and prepare a separate action plan with owners, measurable actions and review dates. Label its present voluntary status.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
Current snapshot cycle: 30 March 2027 for covered public bodies; 4 April 2027 for private/voluntary employers.
Federal equal-pay baseline plus state and local transparency rules
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in today’s differential review. Retained substantive finding from 19 September: California requires an in-post pay scale for covered 15+ employers, including roles potentially filled remotely in California. Its 100+ pay-data reports are separate from federal EEO-1. This is not a complete state-by-state survey.
Recommended next step
Check recruiter and agency adverts, California remote eligibility, and payroll/labour-contractor report scope; retain the certified submission receipt.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
California 2025-data deadline was 13 May 2026: check any missing receipt now. Pay scale belongs in each covered posting.
WGEA 100+ reporting active; 500+ target duties also apply
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in today’s differential review. Retained substantive finding from 19 September: WGEA reporting requires CEO sign-off and sharing specified reports. Directly employing relevant employers with 500+ workers also choose three gender-equality targets and have three years to meet them or demonstrate improvement.
Recommended next step
Keep CEO approval, governing-body delivery evidence and a three-target register with baselines, owners and the entity’s selection date.
Suggested owner
CEO, HR reporting lead and governing body
Timing / condition
Standard reporting window 1 April–31 May; target period runs three years from selection. Confirm the entity’s portal cycle.
Federal 10+ proactive pay equity and separate 100+ LEEP reporting active
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in today’s differential review. Retained substantive finding from 19 September: The regulator’s page, modified 11 September, distinguishes federal 10+ proactive pay equity from other regimes. Plans are normally due within three years of becoming subject and updated at least every five years.
Recommended next step
Record why the entity is federally regulated, the date it became subject, the plan’s due date and the next five-year update; keep LEEP separate.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
Entity-specific three- and five-year plan clocks; verify annual-statement and LEEP dates separately.
100+ semi-annual reporting active; sixth-report availability not confirmed
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in today’s differential review. Retained substantive finding from 19 September: The official sixth-report notice confirms the 3–31 August information-update window for 100+ employers. Today’s review did not establish that the sixth report is already available for every employer.
Recommended next step
Check the employer’s official portal for its report, validate the figures and prepare the required publication; retain evidence of availability and the published report.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
September publication cycle; a precise availability date remains unverified.
Gender wage-gap disclosure applies to 101+ regular workers from 1 April 2026
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in today’s differential review. Retained substantive finding from 19 September: From April 2026, 101+ regular-worker employers disclose both the gender wage gap and the women-manager ratio. Additional required indicators depend on size; timing follows the employer’s financial year.
Recommended next step
Prepare both indicators and the size-appropriate additional item(s). Record the first financial year ending on/after 1 April 2026 and the publication date.
Suggested owner
HR and payroll lead
Timing / condition
Generally about three months after the following financial year begins. A June 2026 year-end points to approximately September 2026, not a universal 30 September deadline.
Equal-value pay applies under the Act; the old under-five-worker exemption was deleted
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in today’s differential review. Retained substantive finding from 19 September: Correction: the old under-five-worker exception was deleted in 2018. Article 8 equal-value pay cannot be presented as starting only at five regular workers; the decree’s specific exceptions still need scope checking.
Recommended next step
Review small establishments previously excluded by the tracker. Compare actual skill, effort, responsibility and working conditions within the business.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
Correct scope now; no universal public-report filing date follows from article 8.
Annual reporting active for 519+ employers and specified entities
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in today’s differential review. Retained substantive finding from 19 September: The retained 519+ and specified-entity framework remains the baseline. Current regulator instructions and any 2026 deadline extension were not successfully verified; the old early-June wording must not be treated as a confirmed current deadline.
Recommended next step
Obtain the Commission’s current notice for the covered year before deciding whether the report is late; preserve internal and public reports with privacy controls.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
Current-cycle publication deadline and any extension: verification required.
2026 EEA2/EEA4 reporting open for designated employers
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in today’s differential review. Retained substantive finding from 19 September: The live 2026 portal accepts EEA2 and EEA4 only, not EEA12/13. It requires CEO approval and an acknowledgement of receipt; no amendment is allowed after final submission.
Recommended next step
Use a pre-submission checklist for figures and CEO approval, then save the acknowledgement. Select online or manual delivery deliberately.
Suggested owner

Timing / condition
Manual/post: 1 October 2026. Online: 15 January 2027 at 23:59, as displayed by the regulator.
Code on Wages section 3 in force; no universal public reporting
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in today’s differential review. Retained substantive finding from 19 September: The official explanation explicitly includes transgender identity in section 3 gender-discrimination controls for wages and recruitment. A generic male/female-only policy misses that scope.
Recommended next step
Review recruitment templates and wage-comparison controls for gender-inclusive application; confirm the appropriate central/state rules for the establishment.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
Apply the existing section 3 controls now; no universal pay-gap filing date asserted.
Tripartite fair-employment guidance active; Workplace Fairness Act enacted but not yet in force
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in today’s differential review. Retained substantive finding from 19 September: The MOM parliamentary reply targets Workplace Fairness Act implementation at the end of 2027. Present fair-employment expectations and the future Act’s commencement are separate.
Recommended next step
Review recruitment criteria and grievance handling now; keep an owner for the final commencement notice and implementation rules.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
End-2027 target remains subject to commencement arrangements; no universal report deadline.
100+ headcount equal-pay analysis framework active through 30 June 2032
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in today’s differential review. Retained substantive finding from 19 September: The regulator links repeat analysis to the prior result: repetition every four years where equality was not met; an employer newly reaching 100 workers at the start of a year has its own first-analysis clock.
Recommended next step
Record the last analysis result, workforce at the year start, independent-review evidence and next required date; do not copy another employer’s 2025–2027 sequence.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
Derive the date from first coverage or the last failed analysis; framework runs through 30 June 2032.
National 50+ reporting framework in force; transition depends on prior certification
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in today’s differential review. Retained substantive finding from 19 September: The national 50+ reporting transition depends on the latest certification/confirmation. Regulation 946/2026 also requires an approved equality plan before filing.
Recommended next step
Locate the latest certificate or confirmation and approval of the equality plan; calculate the entity’s deadline from that evidence.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
Prior certificate/confirmation: three years after the latest one. Neither held: before 1 March 2027.
Amended equal-pay and pay-equity claim process active; no universal public report
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in today’s differential review. Retained substantive finding from 19 September: Current guidance uses a merit-and-requirements assessment, not the older arguability wording. Acknowledge within five working days; decide within 60 working days, with a reasoned limited extension where allowed.
Recommended next step
Create a receipt-date log, acknowledgement template, union-notification privacy check and decision calendar; obtain legal review before discontinuing a claim.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
5 working days to acknowledge; 60 working days to decide. Extension: up to 20 working days for one employer, 80 for multiple employers, subject to the guidance conditions.
Job-category and equal-value pay framework active without a general headcount threshold
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in today’s differential review. Retained substantive finding from 19 September: Correction: the prior 4 August 2026 Supreme Court claim was not supported by the cited evidence and has been removed. Confirmed guidance requires job-category/function schedules and informing workers of salary policy.
Recommended next step
Keep approved category/function schedules and evidence that workers received the salary policy. Obtain the actual judgment before using any case-law claim in a pay decision.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
Maintain the existing controls now; no new court-created deadline is asserted.
Same-work pay rule active; 10+ complaint procedure and 200+ role register
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in today’s differential review. Retained substantive finding from 19 September: The official interpretation supports a reasoned written response within 30 days and the internal complaint/role-register controls. This is an existing same-work framework, not a newly verified universal public report.
Recommended next step
Check the internal regulations and who receives a pay complaint; ensure the response explains the objective basis and is retained.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
Reasoned written response within 30 days of the complaint.
Equal-remuneration baseline; separate confidential social balance for more than 300 workers
Finding
No superseding official act was confirmed in today’s differential review. Retained substantive finding from 19 September: Correction: Law 25,877 article 25 says more than 300 workers, not 300 or more. The annual social balance is confidential; union delivery is within 30 days after preparation, with a copy to the labour authority.
Recommended next step
Recheck entities with exactly 300 workers. For covered employers, assign preparation, union delivery and confidential authority-copy responsibilities.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
Annual balance; union delivery within 30 days after preparation. Article 27 governs first application after reaching the statutory size.
No new enacted pay-transparency change was confirmed today. The review clarifies Finland's still-pending parliamentary stage, confirms Romania's committee status and separates Ireland's newly updated consolidated baseline from the still-unverified Directive transposition.

Preparatory government work and opposition motion documented
Finding
The Bundestag’s 9 September item concerns opposition motion 21/7916 requesting legislation. It creates no employer duty.

Prepare now; confirm national commencement before applying a new deadline.
Existing register and audit rules confirmed; wider transposition not established
Finding
RD 902/2020 article 5 requires consultation with worker representatives at least ten days before creating or changing the pay register. Register, equality-plan audit and the EU 5% condition are distinct.

Timing / condition
At least ten days before the register is created or modified.
Existing biennial pay-structure report for covered 50+ employers; full transposition not confirmed
Finding
Existing Belgian guidance requires a pay-structure analysis every two financial years for covered employers averaging at least 50 workers: abbreviated model for 50–99, full model from 100. The mediator is optional.
Recommended next step
Confirm the statutory headcount calculation and use the correct model; schedule presentation to the works council or trade-union delegation.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition

Finding
BTE Separata 26/2026 expressly labels the text a proposal for public consultation and partial transposition. Its proposed 50–249 reporting bracket is not a current legal instruction.

The official consultation is closed: published 5 November 2025, comments ended 4 December 2025. A bill titled “2026” is not by itself an enacted 2026 law.
Recommended next step
Use the proposal to prepare data; verify the House and Gazette record before changing contractual information or statutory dates.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
Consultation is no longer open; no final commencement verified in this source.
Regulation 9 specifies the first reference periods explicitly: 2026 for 150+ and 2030 for 100–149. The separate fourteen-working-day wording still needs local operational clarification.
Recommended next step
Preserve the full 2026 payroll period and obtain written filing instructions resolving regulation 9(5) before submission.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
First reports by 7 June 2027 / 7 June 2031; resolve the additional timing clause locally.
Great Britain 250+ gender-pay-gap reporting active
Finding
The 250+ Great Britain reporting duty is mandatory. Gender-pay-gap action plans are currently voluntary; the stated spring-2027 mandatory start is subject to legislation.
Recommended next step
Keep the mandatory report calendar and prepare a separate action plan with owners, measurable actions and review dates. Label its present voluntary status.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
Current snapshot cycle: 30 March 2027 for covered public bodies; 4 April 2027 for private/voluntary employers.
Federal equal-pay baseline plus state and local transparency rules
Finding
California requires an in-post pay scale for covered 15+ employers, including roles potentially filled remotely in California. Its 100+ pay-data reports are separate from federal EEO-1. This is not a complete state-by-state survey.
Recommended next step
Check recruiter and agency adverts, California remote eligibility, and payroll/labour-contractor report scope; retain the certified submission receipt.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
California 2025-data deadline was 13 May 2026: check any missing receipt now. Pay scale belongs in each covered posting.
WGEA 100+ reporting active; 500+ target duties also apply
Finding
WGEA reporting requires CEO sign-off and sharing specified reports. Directly employing relevant employers with 500+ workers also choose three gender-equality targets and have three years to meet them or demonstrate improvement.
Recommended next step
Keep CEO approval, governing-body delivery evidence and a three-target register with baselines, owners and the entity’s selection date.
Suggested owner
CEO, HR reporting lead and governing body
Timing / condition
Standard reporting window 1 April–31 May; target period runs three years from selection. Confirm the entity’s portal cycle.
Federal 10+ proactive pay equity and separate 100+ LEEP reporting active
Finding
The regulator’s page, modified 11 September, distinguishes federal 10+ proactive pay equity from other regimes. Plans are normally due within three years of becoming subject and updated at least every five years.
Recommended next step
Record why the entity is federally regulated, the date it became subject, the plan’s due date and the next five-year update; keep LEEP separate.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
Entity-specific three- and five-year plan clocks; verify annual-statement and LEEP dates separately.
100+ semi-annual reporting active; sixth-report availability not confirmed
Finding
The official sixth-report notice confirms the 3–31 August information-update window for 100+ employers. Today’s review did not establish that the sixth report is already available for every employer.
Recommended next step
Check the employer’s official portal for its report, validate the figures and prepare the required publication; retain evidence of availability and the published report.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
September publication cycle; a precise availability date remains unverified.
Gender wage-gap disclosure applies to 101+ regular workers from 1 April 2026
Finding
From April 2026, 101+ regular-worker employers disclose both the gender wage gap and the women-manager ratio. Additional required indicators depend on size; timing follows the employer’s financial year.
Recommended next step
Prepare both indicators and the size-appropriate additional item(s). Record the first financial year ending on/after 1 April 2026 and the publication date.
Suggested owner
HR and payroll lead
Timing / condition
Generally about three months after the following financial year begins. A June 2026 year-end points to approximately September 2026, not a universal 30 September deadline.
Equal-value pay applies under the Act; the old under-five-worker exemption was deleted
Finding
Correction: the old under-five-worker exception was deleted in 2018. Article 8 equal-value pay cannot be presented as starting only at five regular workers; the decree’s specific exceptions still need scope checking.
Recommended next step
Review small establishments previously excluded by the tracker. Compare actual skill, effort, responsibility and working conditions within the business.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
Correct scope now; no universal public-report filing date follows from article 8.
Annual reporting active for 519+ employers and specified entities
Finding
The retained 519+ and specified-entity framework remains the baseline. Current regulator instructions and any 2026 deadline extension were not successfully verified; the old early-June wording must not be treated as a confirmed current deadline.
Recommended next step
Obtain the Commission’s current notice for the covered year before deciding whether the report is late; preserve internal and public reports with privacy controls.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
Current-cycle publication deadline and any extension: verification required.
2026 EEA2/EEA4 reporting open for designated employers
Finding
The live 2026 portal accepts EEA2 and EEA4 only, not EEA12/13. It requires CEO approval and an acknowledgement of receipt; no amendment is allowed after final submission.
Recommended next step
Use a pre-submission checklist for figures and CEO approval, then save the acknowledgement. Select online or manual delivery deliberately.
Suggested owner

Timing / condition
Manual/post: 1 October 2026. Online: 15 January 2027 at 23:59, as displayed by the regulator.
Code on Wages section 3 in force; no universal public reporting
Finding
The official explanation explicitly includes transgender identity in section 3 gender-discrimination controls for wages and recruitment. A generic male/female-only policy misses that scope.
Recommended next step
Review recruitment templates and wage-comparison controls for gender-inclusive application; confirm the appropriate central/state rules for the establishment.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
Apply the existing section 3 controls now; no universal pay-gap filing date asserted.
Tripartite fair-employment guidance active; Workplace Fairness Act enacted but not yet in force
Finding
The MOM parliamentary reply targets Workplace Fairness Act implementation at the end of 2027. Present fair-employment expectations and the future Act’s commencement are separate.
Recommended next step
Review recruitment criteria and grievance handling now; keep an owner for the final commencement notice and implementation rules.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
End-2027 target remains subject to commencement arrangements; no universal report deadline.
100+ headcount equal-pay analysis framework active through 30 June 2032
Finding
The regulator links repeat analysis to the prior result: repetition every four years where equality was not met; an employer newly reaching 100 workers at the start of a year has its own first-analysis clock.
Recommended next step
Record the last analysis result, workforce at the year start, independent-review evidence and next required date; do not copy another employer’s 2025–2027 sequence.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
Derive the date from first coverage or the last failed analysis; framework runs through 30 June 2032.
National 50+ reporting framework in force; transition depends on prior certification
Finding
The national 50+ reporting transition depends on the latest certification/confirmation. Regulation 946/2026 also requires an approved equality plan before filing.
Recommended next step
Locate the latest certificate or confirmation and approval of the equality plan; calculate the entity’s deadline from that evidence.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
Prior certificate/confirmation: three years after the latest one. Neither held: before 1 March 2027.
Amended equal-pay and pay-equity claim process active; no universal public report
Finding
Current guidance uses a merit-and-requirements assessment, not the older arguability wording. Acknowledge within five working days; decide within 60 working days, with a reasoned limited extension where allowed.
Recommended next step
Create a receipt-date log, acknowledgement template, union-notification privacy check and decision calendar; obtain legal review before discontinuing a claim.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
5 working days to acknowledge; 60 working days to decide. Extension: up to 20 working days for one employer, 80 for multiple employers, subject to the guidance conditions.
Job-category and equal-value pay framework active without a general headcount threshold
Finding
Correction: the prior 4 August 2026 Supreme Court claim was not supported by the cited evidence and has been removed. Confirmed guidance requires job-category/function schedules and informing workers of salary policy.
Recommended next step
Keep approved category/function schedules and evidence that workers received the salary policy. Obtain the actual judgment before using any case-law claim in a pay decision.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
Maintain the existing controls now; no new court-created deadline is asserted.
Same-work pay rule active; 10+ complaint procedure and 200+ role register
Finding
The official interpretation supports a reasoned written response within 30 days and the internal complaint/role-register controls. This is an existing same-work framework, not a newly verified universal public report.
Recommended next step
Check the internal regulations and who receives a pay complaint; ensure the response explains the objective basis and is retained.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
Reasoned written response within 30 days of the complaint.
Equal-remuneration baseline; separate confidential social balance for more than 300 workers
Finding
Correction: Law 25,877 article 25 says more than 300 workers, not 300 or more. The annual social balance is confidential; union delivery is within 30 days after preparation, with a copy to the labour authority.
Recommended next step
Recheck entities with exactly 300 workers. For covered employers, assign preparation, union delivery and confidential authority-copy responsibilities.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
Annual balance; union delivery within 30 days after preparation. Article 27 governs first application after reaching the statutory size.

EU baseline in force; national law must be checked
Finding
The EU timetable remains the baseline. National commencement, scope and remedies must be checked separately; a notification count is not a completeness certificate.

EU first reporting: 7 June 2027 for 150+; 7 June 2031 for 100–149, subject to national law.
Act No. 76/2026 Coll. in force; transitional information rules apply
Finding
Section 18 separates the first 2027 category-average information from the current right to own-pay information. The first 150+ report covers only 1 August–31 December 2026.
Recommended next step
Check the 31 July pay-structure implementation evidence and preserve August–December payroll by equal-value category; start a two-month request-response log.
Suggested owner

Timing / condition
31 July 2026 implementation date has passed; first 150+ report due 7 June 2027.
Legislative Decree 96/2026 in force; implementing arrangements require separate review
Finding
Decree 96/2026 is published and in force. Publication of the act does not establish that every article 9 implementing arrangement is operational.
Recommended next step
Prepare annual and hourly pay components, equal-value groupings and the worker-information response process; obtain the applicable reporting instructions before submission.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
First article 9 data collection: 7 June 2027 for 150+, 7 June 2031 for 100–149.
National amendments in force with staged operational dates
Finding
The ministry distinguishes monthly Sodra data from the first annual gap reports in 2028. The 2028 annual report is not permission to defer payroll preparation until 2028.
Recommended next step
Assign payroll fields to occupational groups and test the January 2027 data extract; review the pay system and workers’ access process.
Suggested owner
HR and payroll lead
Timing / condition
Pay-system review by 31 December 2026; January 2027 monthly data submitted in February.
The 10 September Cabinet text proposes retaining the existing private-sector index in 2027 and moving to the new framework in 2028. It is a bill, not enacted transition law.
Recommended next step
Keep the current index workflow funded and prepare a separate change plan; do not cancel existing reporting because a replacement has been announced.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
Continue current index dates; proposed 2028 transition remains conditional.
Preparatory government work and opposition motion documented
Finding
The Bundestag’s 9 September item concerns opposition motion 21/7916 requesting legislation. It creates no employer duty.
Recommended next step
Keep the existing German information and equal-pay controls; prepare an implementation register that only activates new duties after an enacted text is confirmed.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
Prepare now; confirm national commencement before applying a new deadline.
Existing register and audit rules confirmed; wider transposition not established
Finding
RD 902/2020 article 5 requires consultation with worker representatives at least ten days before creating or changing the pay register. Register, equality-plan audit and the EU 5% condition are distinct.
Recommended next step
Add a consultation checkpoint before payroll signs off a register change; retain the invitation, consultation record and final register.
Suggested owner
HR and payroll lead
Timing / condition
At least ten days before the register is created or modified.
6 measures notified; federal completeness not established
Finding
Existing Belgian guidance requires a pay-structure analysis every two financial years for covered employers averaging at least 50 workers: abbreviated model for 50–99, full model from 100. The mediator is optional.
Recommended next step
Confirm the statutory headcount calculation and use the correct model; schedule presentation to the works council or trade-union delegation.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
Biennial reporting cycle; derive the next delivery from the employer’s financial years and consultation timetable.
Renegotiation and preparation documented; final legislation not verified
Finding
The Equality Ombudsman still distinguishes preparatory work from finished legislation. Existing pay-survey duties are not suspended by the EU implementation debate.
Recommended next step
Maintain the annual pay-survey workflow and documented equal-value grouping; keep draft reporting fields separate.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
Continue the existing annual cycle; no new enacted commencement date confirmed here.
Ministerial answer clarifies proposed reporting; not enacted law
Finding
The parliamentary question and answer describe proposed reporting, including a conditional 50–99-worker category. They are not an enacted filing instruction.
Recommended next step
Keep a separate scenario for the proposed threshold; do not merge it into the current mandatory calendar.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
The reviewed 2031 proposal is conditional; confirm final law before implementation.
8 measures notified; economy-wide completeness not established
Finding
Section 11a confirms a biennial anonymised income report and first-quarter delivery. Official guidance and the statutory-search wording disagree at exactly 150 workers; the current section 63 could not be fully retrieved.
Recommended next step
Prepare the anonymised report, but obtain the current section 63 scope before deciding coverage for exactly 150 workers.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
Covered reports go to worker representatives in Q1 following the reporting year; exact 150-worker boundary remains open.
The verified Labour Code baseline is retained. The autumn programme was blocked by CAPTCHA and the current full-transposition outcome remains unverified; the older zero-notification observation is not refreshed.
Recommended next step
Use current equal-treatment controls and ask local counsel for the enacted national text before activating a new reporting date.
Existing equal-pay law applies; partial-transposition consultation draft
Finding
BTE Separata 26/2026 expressly labels the text a proposal for public consultation and partial transposition. Its proposed 50–249 reporting bracket is not a current legal instruction.
Recommended next step
Continue existing equal-pay duties and keep a draft-to-final comparison before changing employer thresholds or reporting schedules.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
Prepare now; confirm national commencement before applying a new deadline.
Existing 50+ gender-pay-gap reporting active; current full-transposition status not verified
Finding
The complete June ministerial answer supports continuing annual publication and describes mandatory central-portal filing as dependent on amendment. It cannot establish the September enactment position.
Recommended next step
Preserve the employer’s published report and proof of the applicable deadline; verify any enacted portal mandate separately before changing the submission workflow.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
Use the entity’s statutory reporting cycle; current full transposition and central-portal mandate remain open.
Consultation closed; final enactment not established by the record
Finding
The official consultation export now provides an inspectable history: closed on 18 June and a response summary recorded on 11 August. No final Council act is listed in this export.
Recommended next step
Compare the final adopted text, when available, with the consultation; do not treat stakeholder comments as law.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
Prepare now; confirm national commencement before applying a new deadline.
Job-evaluation guidance available; legislative alignment in progress
Finding
The ministry lists job-evaluation tools for small, medium and large employers and updated 9 September supporting files. Tools support preparation; they do not prove enacted transposition.
Recommended next step
Select the model matching employer size and test a small set of real job descriptions with documented factor evidence.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
Preparation can begin now; binding dates require the final law.
On 11 September the ministry announced planned pay-transparency transposition by the end of 2026. This adds a dated national plan to the previous notification-only brief; enactment is not established.
Recommended next step
Assign a Slovenian implementation owner and prepare job categories and payroll inputs while monitoring Uradni list for the final act.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
End of 2026 is the ministry’s planning target, not an employer deadline.
Partial pay-transparency duties active; broader package not transposed in ministry guidance
Finding
The ministry separates active recruitment changes from the wider paused package. Older implementation-plan paragraphs on the same page should not be read as current enacted reporting.
Recommended next step
Check pay information provided before interviews and salary-history questions; keep wider reporting fields in preparation.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
Current partial duties apply now; no new full-package commencement confirmed.
TAP 26-TA-700 remains a draft in the reviewed record
Finding
The retained TAP draft and proposed dates remain labelled as proposals. Today’s full draft retrieval failed, so a later adoption or revision could not be ruled out.
Recommended next step
Obtain the current TAP history and final gazette publication before adopting the draft reporting schedule.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
Draft 2027/2031 dates are not confirmed employer deadlines.
Law 5316/2026 published; confirm applicable commencement provisions
Finding
The parliamentary record confirms Law 5316 and Gazette 105 A/6 July 2026. This review of the record does not close the outstanding article-by-article commencement and implementing-decision check.
Recommended next step
Have local counsel identify the applicable articles and filing instructions for each legal entity before setting its deadline.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
Entity-specific commencement and filing date still require confirmation.
The official consultation is closed: published 5 November 2025, comments ended 4 December 2025. A bill titled “2026” is not by itself an enacted 2026 law.

Consultation is no longer open; no final commencement verified in this source.
Regulation 9 specifies the first reference periods explicitly: 2026 for 150+ and 2030 for 100–149. The separate fourteen-working-day wording still needs local operational clarification.

First reports by 7 June 2027 / 7 June 2031; resolve the additional timing clause locally.
Great Britain 250+ gender-pay-gap reporting active
Finding
The 250+ Great Britain reporting duty is mandatory. Gender-pay-gap action plans are currently voluntary; the stated spring-2027 mandatory start is subject to legislation.
Recommended next step
Keep the mandatory report calendar and prepare a separate action plan with owners, measurable actions and review dates. Label its present voluntary status.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
Current snapshot cycle: 30 March 2027 for covered public bodies; 4 April 2027 for private/voluntary employers.
Federal equal-pay baseline plus state and local transparency rules
Finding
California requires an in-post pay scale for covered 15+ employers, including roles potentially filled remotely in California. Its 100+ pay-data reports are separate from federal EEO-1. This is not a complete state-by-state survey.
Recommended next step
Check recruiter and agency adverts, California remote eligibility, and payroll/labour-contractor report scope; retain the certified submission receipt.
Suggested owner

Timing / condition
California 2025-data deadline was 13 May 2026: check any missing receipt now. Pay scale belongs in each covered posting.
WGEA 100+ reporting active; 500+ target duties also apply
Finding
WGEA reporting requires CEO sign-off and sharing specified reports. Directly employing relevant employers with 500+ workers also choose three gender-equality targets and have three years to meet them or demonstrate improvement.
Recommended next step
Keep CEO approval, governing-body delivery evidence and a three-target register with baselines, owners and the entity’s selection date.
Suggested owner

Timing / condition
Standard reporting window 1 April–31 May; target period runs three years from selection. Confirm the entity’s portal cycle.
Federal 10+ proactive pay equity and separate 100+ LEEP reporting active
Finding
The regulator’s page, modified 11 September, distinguishes federal 10+ proactive pay equity from other regimes. Plans are normally due within three years of becoming subject and updated at least every five years.
Recommended next step
Record why the entity is federally regulated, the date it became subject, the plan’s due date and the next five-year update; keep LEEP separate.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
Entity-specific three- and five-year plan clocks; verify annual-statement and LEEP dates separately.
100+ semi-annual reporting active; sixth-report availability not confirmed
Finding
The official sixth-report notice confirms the 3–31 August information-update window for 100+ employers. Today’s review did not establish that the sixth report is already available for every employer.
Recommended next step
Check the employer’s official portal for its report, validate the figures and prepare the required publication; retain evidence of availability and the published report.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
September publication cycle; a precise availability date remains unverified.
Gender wage-gap disclosure applies to 101+ regular workers from 1 April 2026
Finding
From April 2026, 101+ regular-worker employers disclose both the gender wage gap and the women-manager ratio. Additional required indicators depend on size; timing follows the employer’s financial year.
Recommended next step
Prepare both indicators and the size-appropriate additional item(s). Record the first financial year ending on/after 1 April 2026 and the publication date.
Suggested owner
HR and payroll lead
Timing / condition
Generally about three months after the following financial year begins. A June 2026 year-end points to approximately September 2026, not a universal 30 September deadline.
Equal-value pay rule generally applies from 5 regular workers; no universal public report
Finding
Correction: the old under-five-worker exception was deleted in 2018. Article 8 equal-value pay cannot be presented as starting only at five regular workers; the decree’s specific exceptions still need scope checking.
Recommended next step
Review small establishments previously excluded by the tracker. Compare actual skill, effort, responsibility and working conditions within the business.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
Correct scope now; no universal public-report filing date follows from article 8.
Annual reporting active for 519+ employers and specified entities
Finding
The retained 519+ and specified-entity framework remains the baseline. Current regulator instructions and any 2026 deadline extension were not successfully verified; the old early-June wording must not be treated as a confirmed current deadline.
Recommended next step
Obtain the Commission’s current notice for the covered year before deciding whether the report is late; preserve internal and public reports with privacy controls.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
Current-cycle publication deadline and any extension: verification required.
2026 EEA2/EEA4 reporting open for designated employers
Finding
The live 2026 portal accepts EEA2 and EEA4 only, not EEA12/13. It requires CEO approval and an acknowledgement of receipt; no amendment is allowed after final submission.
Recommended next step
Use a pre-submission checklist for figures and CEO approval, then save the acknowledgement. Select online or manual delivery deliberately.

Code on Wages section 3 in force; no universal public reporting
Finding
The official explanation explicitly includes transgender identity in section 3 gender-discrimination controls for wages and recruitment. A generic male/female-only policy misses that scope.
Recommended next step
Review recruitment templates and wage-comparison controls for gender-inclusive application; confirm the appropriate central/state rules for the establishment.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
Apply the existing section 3 controls now; no universal pay-gap filing date asserted.
Tripartite fair-employment guidance active; Workplace Fairness Act enacted but not yet in force
Finding
The MOM parliamentary reply targets Workplace Fairness Act implementation at the end of 2027. Present fair-employment expectations and the future Act’s commencement are separate.
Recommended next step
Review recruitment criteria and grievance handling now; keep an owner for the final commencement notice and implementation rules.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
End-2027 target remains subject to commencement arrangements; no universal report deadline.
100+ headcount equal-pay analysis framework active through 30 June 2032
Finding
The regulator links repeat analysis to the prior result: repetition every four years where equality was not met; an employer newly reaching 100 workers at the start of a year has its own first-analysis clock.
Recommended next step
Record the last analysis result, workforce at the year start, independent-review evidence and next required date; do not copy another employer’s 2025–2027 sequence.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
Derive the date from first coverage or the last failed analysis; framework runs through 30 June 2032.
National 50+ reporting framework in force; transition depends on prior certification
Finding
The national 50+ reporting transition depends on the latest certification/confirmation. Regulation 946/2026 also requires an approved equality plan before filing.
Recommended next step
Locate the latest certificate or confirmation and approval of the equality plan; calculate the entity’s deadline from that evidence.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
Prior certificate/confirmation: three years after the latest one. Neither held: before 1 March 2027.
Amended equal-pay and pay-equity claim process active; no universal public report
Finding
Current guidance uses a merit-and-requirements assessment, not the older arguability wording. Acknowledge within five working days; decide within 60 working days, with a reasoned limited extension where allowed.
Recommended next step
Create a receipt-date log, acknowledgement template, union-notification privacy check and decision calendar; obtain legal review before discontinuing a claim.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
5 working days to acknowledge; 60 working days to decide. Extension: up to 20 working days for one employer, 80 for multiple employers, subject to the guidance conditions.
Job-category and equal-value pay framework active without a general headcount threshold
Finding
Correction: the prior 4 August 2026 Supreme Court claim was not supported by the cited evidence and has been removed. Confirmed guidance requires job-category/function schedules and informing workers of salary policy.
Recommended next step
Keep approved category/function schedules and evidence that workers received the salary policy. Obtain the actual judgment before using any case-law claim in a pay decision.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
Maintain the existing controls now; no new court-created deadline is asserted.
Same-work pay rule active; 10+ complaint procedure and 200+ role register
Finding
The official interpretation supports a reasoned written response within 30 days and the internal complaint/role-register controls. This is an existing same-work framework, not a newly verified universal public report.
Recommended next step
Check the internal regulations and who receives a pay complaint; ensure the response explains the objective basis and is retained.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
Reasoned written response within 30 days of the complaint.
Equal-remuneration baseline without a headcount threshold; separate 300+ confidential balance social
Finding
Correction: Law 25,877 article 25 says more than 300 workers, not 300 or more. The annual social balance is confidential; union delivery is within 30 days after preparation, with a copy to the labour authority.
Recommended next step
Recheck entities with exactly 300 workers. For covered employers, assign preparation, union delivery and confidential authority-copy responsibilities.
Suggested owner
HR lead with local employment counsel
Timing / condition
Annual balance; union delivery within 30 days after preparation. Article 27 governs first application after reaching the statutory size.

ACLASA separates defensible factors from salary history, negotiation power and historical titles.
Payroll spine
Correct pay and hours data decides credibility
Payroll reconciles pay codes, hours, FTE, retro corrections and exclusions before reports or responses go out.
Global use
Clear enough for a small firm, deep enough for a global employer
The public tracker gives everyone a starting point. Larger employers can add local country files, source refreshes, language views and reporting packs from the same dataset.
Public
Know where to look first
Country status, plain obligations, start-stop-more actions and XLSX export for planning.
Company
Run many countries calmly
Local country files, English group views, source refreshes and clear ownership of next actions.
Codes
Use the right work language
EU starts with ISCO/EIGE/ACLASA. The US, Brazil, Australia, Canada and the UK need their own reporting and occupation logic.
Watch
Every country has a place
Countries without a strong public duty stay visible as monitored, so global teams can keep one inventory.
Employer story
What clients see in the first minute
Board
Where are we exposed?
See which countries are already in force, which are moving through legislation and which need immediate data preparation.
HR
What must change in hiring?
Salary-range communication, salary-history bans and neutral job ads are shown as concrete actions, not legal jargon.
Reward
How do we classify work?
ACLASA keeps the sequence stable: work evidence, objective evaluation, equal-value category, ACLASA band, ISCO/ESCO context and country rules.
Legal
Can we evidence it?
Every country card carries official sources, status, deadlines, local language text and an English export layer.

HTTP availability is not legal verification. The scheduled monitor has no deployment step; publication requires a separate tested and approved release.
The source register retains 110 overdue review dates. These are separate from technical availability findings; this bounded check does not renew legal-review dates.
Austria: Current RIS GlBG section 63(6) was now retrieved: it says more than 150 workers; USP says at least 150. This resolves the previous access gap but leaves a source conflict to disclose. The governed B-GlBG is federal-sector law and is not evidence of economy-wide transposition. Malta: LN 173/2026 text covers public/private employers and workers, with recruitment rules for applicants. Regulation 6 requires written response in eight days and retains data five years. Regulation 9 sets 2027/2031 reporting bands but also a fourteen-working-day submission clause; a single June filing date is incomplete without regulator clarification. Greece: The official Parliament record was re-read on 8 October. It confirms Law 5316/2026, the 2 July vote and Gazette 105 A of 6 July 2026. The page does not provide a final article-by-article Gazette body, so the enacted status is confirmed while specific employer commencement and filing clauses remain open for local verification. United States: Federal EPA covers substantially equal work and all compensation; Title VII generally starts at 15 employees. EEO-1 page says 2024 closed and 2025 updates pending. California 15+ in-post scales and 100+ pay-data duties are separate; 2025 reports were due 13 May 2026. DIR also confirms employee scale requests, anti-retaliation and wage recovery.
