About Gender Pay Gap Guide
Our Gender Pay Gap Guide explains how companies can understand, calculate, and report gender pay gaps under the EU Pay Transparency Directive. It is written by reward professionals for reward professionals, HR teams, employee representatives, works councils, equality advocates, and informed non-specialists.
The aim is practical: make the gender pay equity understandable, show what the figures mean, and help people ask better questions about pay systems.
Pay transparency compliance should not be hidden behind jargon or gated downloads. The core concepts should be publicly understandable.

This website is an educational resource. It does not provide legal advice, statistical certification, or a substitute for local legal interpretation. The EU Pay Transparency Directive must be transposed and implemented through national law, and Member States may introduce specific rules, formats, thresholds, or enforcement processes.
Use this site to understand the concepts, test assumptions, and prepare better questions before decisions are made or figures are reported.
A pay gap report is not the finish line. It is the receipt disclosing what the pay system has produced this year.
