Compensation, Benefits & EU Pay Transparency
This is my core practice: making pay structures fair, explainable and ready for the EU Pay Transparency Directive - without a twelve-month consulting project.
Where things stand
Free: the 3-minute readiness scorecard
Not sure where you stand? The scorecard gives HR leads and founders a quick read on where the main gaps are - foundations, operations, or reporting readiness - with your scored result at the end and a personal follow-up to the email you leave. Three minutes, no strings.

Readiness Sprint
For teams that know their gaps and want them closed: a five-week fixed-price sprint that builds the compliance backbone - pay criteria, information-request process, recruitment transparency, documentation - prioritised by your Quick Check results. Works-council path included where applicable.
Beyond the Directive
- Compensation frameworks and salary bands - from job architecture and levelling to market benchmarking and band design that survives contact with reality
- Bonus and variable pay redesign - including finance alignment and works-council co-determination sequencing in Germany
- Benefits - benchmarking, platform evaluation and the cross-border equity questions that come with remote and EOR teams
- Multi-country pay structures - location factors, country tiers and EOR/remote setups, from two countries to sixty
- Equal value and pay equity - structured job evaluation that holds up when someone asks "why is this role paid more?"
- Pay communication - what to tell managers and employees, in what order, so transparency builds trust instead of noise
How I work
The packaged offers above come at fixed prices with tightly defined scope - that is what makes the prices possible. Custom advisory and implementation work runs at transparent rates with a clear estimate upfront. Either way: no discovery phases that quietly bill by the hour, no slide decks that need a second consultant to execute, and no cost surprises. Delivery in German or English, including works-council-ready German documents.
