Pay Transparency Quick Check
Find out where your company actually stands on EU Pay Transparency - in one week, at a fixed price, without a discovery project.
The situation
The EU Pay Transparency Directive's transposition deadline passed in June 2026. Germany's law is coming in 2027, first pay-gap reports are due for larger employers in 2027 - and the companies that check their readiness calmly now will not be the ones paying panic rates later.
What you get
- A scored readiness report across eight dimensions - pay criteria, salary ranges, job architecture, comparator groups, information-request readiness, recruitment transparency, documentation, and reporting exposure
- A prioritized action plan - your top five gaps, ordered by legal exposure, each with a realistic effort estimate
- Dated country notes for every country you employ people in
- A 30-minute debrief call to walk through the results and your questions
- An honest "what we did not assess" section - you will know exactly what this check covers and what it does not
How it works
1. You complete a structured intake - about 30 minutes of your time, no payroll data required
2. I assess your setup against the Directive's requirements and the current transposition status of your countries
3. Within five working days you hold the scored report, the action plan, and we talk it through
Price
From €2,400 fixed, plus VAT: €2,400 for companies employing in up to two countries, €2,900 from three countries - per-country readiness notes are real work. No hourly meter, no scope surprises. You know the cost before we start.
What this is not
No legal advice - the report is consultant analysis, and where counsel should look at something, it says so explicitly. No pay-gap calculation on your real payroll data, and no implementation - those are separate, clearly-scoped next steps if you want them.
Who this is for
HR leads and founders at companies with roughly 50 to 500 employees in the EU - the size where the Directive bites but a big-firm compliance project makes no sense.
Common questions
Why is this so affordable?
Fixed scope and a delivery system I have refined across real engagements. You are paying for judgment and fifteen years of compensation experience - not for hours of document formatting.
We have no salary bands yet. Is it too early?
No - that is exactly what the check establishes. If your foundations need building first, the report says so and tells you in which order.
German or English?
Both. Intake, report and debrief call in whichever language your team works in - or mixed, which is how most of my clients actually operate.
What happens after the check?
Whatever you decide. Many companies fix the top actions themselves; if you want support, there is a fixed-price Readiness Sprint that picks up exactly where the check stops.
