government&#8217;s\u00a0<strong>commission on implementing the Directive<\/strong>\u00a0set out five key points:<\/p><ol><li><strong>Data basis for reporting<\/strong><br \/>Companies must base their reports on actual gross annual pay, including all fixed and variable components. Some components, such as severance payments or minor non-cash benefits, may be excluded in practice. Companies can decide for themselves how much detail to include when reporting variable compensation.<\/li><li><b>Employee right to information<\/b><br \/>The right to request salary information will become effective in 2027. Small comparison groups (fewer than six men or six women) are excluded for data protection reasons. Companies must clearly define and communicate the methodology used to categorize employees.<\/li><li><b>Employee categories and collective agreements<\/b><br \/>For employees covered by collective bargaining agreements, companies should distuingish between unionized and non-unionized employees to classify pay differences more accurately. The commission also recommends that companies consider using scientifically validated job evaluation tools, though this remains optional.<\/li><li><strong>Group-level reporting<\/strong><br \/>The commission proposes allowing companies to consolidate reports at group level, i.e., across multiple legal entities within a parent company. It\u2019s not yet clear whether data must be reported in aggregated form only, or broken down by legal entity too.<\/li><li><b>Handling discrepancies and the gender pay gap<\/b><br \/>If unjustified differences are identified, companies are expected to promptly establish an action plan with employee representatives, including clear timelines. In practice, adjustments may take several years\u2014for example, if collective agreements need to be amended. The commission recommends aligning these reporting obligations with other sustainability requirements, such as the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD).<\/li><\/ol><p>International companies face additional strategic adjustments, as they must align regulations and reporting standards across countries.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section
