Country readiness

Works across the EU — even where the law is still catching up

The directive is EU-wide, but each member state writes its own implementing law — and they're landing at very different speeds. Only a handful are final, while most big markets are still finalising theirs. Either way, you can start with Cleira now.

Where national law is final

We're rolling out the official, file-ready report format country by country, starting with the markets whose rules are already in force.

Italy Slovakia Lithuania

First markets — more added as each country's law lands.

Everywhere else (most of the EU)

Use Cleira now to get audit-ready — upload your real workforce data, see exactly where you stand against the directive, and get a directive-baseline report you can act on today. The moment your country's official format is published, your reports auto-upgrade to it — no waiting, no rework.

Austria Belgium Bulgaria Croatia Cyprus Czechia Denmark Estonia Finland France Germany Greece Hungary Ireland Latvia Luxembourg Malta Netherlands Poland Portugal Romania Slovenia Spain Sweden

Full file-ready support rolls out country by country because each national law sets its own format, thresholds and submission method.

The obligation

The directive is in force. The spreadsheet won't survive an audit.

Directive (EU) 2023/970 turned pay transparency from good practice into law. Mid-market employers now carry real reporting duties — but most enterprise tools are priced for the Fortune 500.

  • Recurring gender pay-gap reports for employers with 100+ workers, phased by headcount.
  • Mean & median gaps on base and variable pay, reported per category of workers.
  • A mandatory joint pay assessment when an unjustified gap of 5% or more appears in any category.
  • Defensible, documented method — regulators and works councils can ask how every figure was produced.

Your compliance analysis

1

Statutory headline metrics

The directive's required organisation-wide figures. A positive % means pay favours men; gaps are measured against the 5% line. Pay is FTE-adjusted so part-time workers compare fairly.

2

Distribution & participation

How women and men are spread across the four pay quartiles, and who receives variable / bonus pay.

Pay quartiles by gender
Share of women, men and other / undisclosed in each quartile of total pay (Q1 lowest … Q4 highest).
Variable pay participation
Proportion of each gender receiving any variable / bonus pay — a required transparency metric.
3

Breakdown by category of workers

Mean base-pay gap for each job category, sorted highest first. Any category at or above the 5% directive threshold is flagged — these may trigger a mandatory joint pay assessment.

Job category Headcount Women Men Mean base gap Status

FAQ

Pay Transparency Directive — your questions

The essentials on Directive (EU) 2023/970, the 5% threshold and how Cleira fits.

Who must comply with the EU Pay Transparency Directive (2023/970)?
The directive applies to all employers in the EU. Reporting obligations are phased by headcount: employers with 100 or more workers must produce recurring gender pay-gap reports, with the largest employers (250+) reporting first and annually, and those with 100–249 workers reporting every three years. National implementing law sets the precise schedule in each member state.
What is the 5% pay gap threshold?
Where reporting reveals an average gender pay gap of at least 5% in any category of workers doing the same work or work of equal value, and the employer cannot justify it on objective, gender-neutral criteria, the employer must carry out a joint pay assessment together with workers' representatives. Cleira flags every category that meets or exceeds 5% automatically.
Is the free analysis really complete, or just a teaser?
From 1 July 2026, yes — and here's what it will do: It's complete and decision-grade. The free analysis computes every figure the directive expects and explains what each result means. What's reserved for paid plans is the deeper adjusted regression analysis, the official branded filing-ready report, and saved multi-year history.
