10 Months to Go: Why August 2025 Is the Time to Begin Your EU Pay Transparency Directive Prep
· 7 min read
7 August 2025 marks the 10-month countdown to the 🇪🇺 EU Pay Transparency Directive going live.
August also marks the peak of the holiday season across Europe, a time when many HR professionals are understandably more focused on vacations than upcoming EU Pay Transparency Directive compliance deadlines. With many teams running at a slower pace, now is a rare window to tackle the low-lift, high-impact groundwork for the EU Pay Transparency Directive. The Directive goes live across member states on 7 June 2026, but smart, early action this summer can help prevent a last-minute scramble next spring. You don’t need to choose between taking time off and getting ahead. In fact, August is ideal for both. Don’t let August slip away into a moment in time–yes, like the Taylor Swift song!
