Løntransparensdirektivet betragtning 40

English language version pr. 2026-10-06 tier 3 Direktiv (EU) 2023/970, CELEX 32023L0970

To reduce the burden on employers, Member States could gather and interlink the necessary data through their national administrations allowing for a computation of the pay gap between female and male workers per employer. Such data gathering may require interlinking data from several public administrations, such as tax inspectorates and social security offices, and would be possible if administrative data matching employers’ data, at company or organisational level, to workers’ data, at individual level, including benefits in cash and in kind, are available. Member States could gather that information not only for employers that are covered by the pay reporting obligation under this Directive, but also for employers that are not covered by the obligation and that report voluntarily. The publication of the required information by Member States should replace the obligation of pay reporting on those employers covered by the administrative data provided that the result intended by the reporting obligation is achieved.
