EU Directive 2023/970 · Italy

Pay transparency is here. Make it an advantage, not a scramble.

The EU Pay Transparency Directive’s transposition deadline was 7 June 2026: a salary band in every posting, no salary-history questions, neutral selection. Skills-first, evidence-based hiring makes all of it the default — not extra work.

We connect people and values.

What changes

Five obligations, in plain language

01

A salary band in every posting

A pay range — and the applicable CCNL — must appear in the job ad, before the interview.

02

No salary-history questions

You can no longer ask a candidate what they earned in a previous role.

03

Gender-neutral ads & selection

Job ads and selection criteria must be gender-neutral and objective.

04

Right to information

Candidates and employees can request the pay criteria and average pay levels.

05

Burden of proof & reporting

In a dispute the employer must prove there was no discrimination; firms with 150+ employees report pay gaps from 2027.

Compliant by design

How InTransparency keeps you ahead

Hiring on verified skills makes compliance a by-product, not a separate project.

Salary bands built in

Every job you post carries a pay range and CCNL by default — not an afterthought.

Selection on verified skills

You select on skills extracted from real work — objective and documented, never on protected attributes.

Neutral-language assist

We flag non-neutral wording in your ads and selection criteria.

An audit trail

Every step is logged, so you can show a selection was fair if asked.

A CV becomes a liability when selection has to be documented and neutral. Why hire on evidence →

FAQ

The common questions

When does it apply?

The EU Directive 2023/970 transposition deadline was 7 June 2026; Italian rules follow from it.

Who is in scope?

All employers for the transparency duties; pay-gap reporting starts with 150+ employee firms (2027) and extends to smaller ones later.

What are the penalties?

Member states set sanctions. The burden-of-proof reversal makes undocumented processes risky.

Is this legal advice?

No — it’s orientation. Check the official text and your own advisors.
