EU Pay Transparency Readiness Assessment
Preparing for the EU Pay Transparency Directive requires a structured understanding of how ready your organisation is across policy, job architecture, data, processes and systems. Zalaris’ Readiness Assessment uses our proven EU Pay Transparency Maturity Model to evaluate readiness across four core dimensions - ensuring you have the clarity needed before making policy changes, process adjustments or system configurations.
We guide you through a structured diagnostic that highlights strengths, risks and gaps linked to the Directive’s requirements. This includes reviewing your job architecture, pay-range structures, comparator logic, recruitment and pay-decision processes, and your ability to respond to employee information requests. You receive practical, technology-agnostic recommendations tailored to your maturity level, HR landscape and EU footprint.
The assessment provides HR, payroll, compensation, legal and leadership teams with a unified understanding of organisational readiness across all EU locations. You receive a clear roadmap that outlines priorities, dependencies and next steps - ensuring the right foundations are in place before enabling transparency features or preparing for gender pay-gap reporting.
The assessment evaluates your organisation across four maturity dimensions:
- Awareness & interpretation: understanding of EU 2023/970, key concepts, thresholds and upcoming country-specific variations.
- Governance & policy maturity: fairness principles, pay governance, job evaluation frameworks, transparency policies and career structures.
- Data & process readiness: quality of comparator data, job architecture alignment, recruitment transparency, pay-decision workflows and information-request handling.
- Technology readiness: ability of HR, payroll and supporting systems to enable transparency, publish salary ranges, structure comparator groups and support pay-gap insights.
Zalaris gives you confidence to move forward efficiently - based on your organisational maturity and EU footprint.
