Beyond Borders: Why the EU Pay Directive matters for UK-based HR (webinar)
Thursday 2 July 2026, 2:00pm BST
EU member states have until 7 June 2026 to enact legislation in line with the EU Pay Transparency Directive. But what will the new laws mean for employers in the UK, with operations in Europe?
Measures include pay range information in job advertisements, a worker’s right to request information regarding their pay compared to colleagues doing the same work, together with gender pay gap reporting and joint pay assessments.
While the new rules do not directly impact UK organisations, many with offices across the EU have decided they are not going to treat British staff any differently to employees in Europe.
This Personnel Today webinar, in association with Remote, the intelligent infrastructure for employing and paying people everywhere, examines the EU Pay Transparency Directive in detail, how member states are implementing or adapting their laws, and the implications for HR and employers.
Personnel Today editor Rob Moss is joined by Shay Ogunsanya, Managing Counsel at Remote, and his colleague Vic Thatcher, Director of Global Payroll Strategy and Compliance.
Register now to find out:
- How employer should review their pay structures
