EU Pay Transparency Directive Training | Gender Pay Gap Compliance

Blend Interactive Content

The EU Pay Transparency Directive introduces new duties to share pay information, report gender pay gaps and justify pay differences, backed by a reversed burden of proof in equal-pay claims. This interactive course provides practical, scenario-based training to help HR and reward teams understand their responsibilities and confidently manage compliance.

Rather than learning through slides alone, you will take part in a realistic scenario where your decisions influence the outcome. Working through 18 months at one employer, from a candidate's pay question to a tribunal, you will build the methodology, produce the report, negotiate with the works council and defend your decisions where the burden of proof is reversed.

During this course, you'll learn how to:

• Understand the key duties of the EU Pay Transparency Directive
• Give candidates and workers the pay information they are entitled to
• Build a method to measure and report gender pay gaps
• Explain and justify pay differences on objective grounds
• Work with worker representatives and a works council on pay
• Prepare to defend pay decisions where the burden of proof is reversed

Course features:

• Immersive, decision-based learning with multiple possible outcomes
• Realistic case files, supporting documents and practical activities
• Voiced narration and realistic case evidence
• Interactive pay-gap analysis exercises
• Approximately 2 hours of self-paced online learning
• Developed by Blend Training and reviewed by qualified EU employment law professionals
