General information, not legal advice. The dates below are the EU Directive's own minimums. Each country sets its own rules when it turns the Directive into national law, many countries are still finalising theirs, and they can differ from what's shown here. Always check your own country's law, or ask your legal adviser.

This article collects the dates and numbers that matter for pay transparency, from the Directive and from Evenpay's default settings.

Good to know

If your national law is stricter, for example a shorter response deadline, change the matching setting so Evenpay follows your rules.
See Approval, deadline and cooldown settings and Pay equity alerts for details.
