Pay gap reporting required before the Directive
No national gender pay gap reporting obligation before the Directive.
When Directive (Article 9) pay gap reporting starts
Article 9 reporting covers seven indicators: the mean and median gender pay gap, the mean and median gap in variable pay, the proportion of women and men receiving variable pay, the proportion of women and men in each pay quartile, and the gender pay gap by category of workers.
Not yet legislated.
Things to work on now
- Priority for Slovenia. The ministry aims to adopt the law by 31 December 2026 if possible, but no bill has been published. Use the time to build job architecture and data capability.
- Use the Directive as your baseline. The Directive sets minimum requirements (Articles 4 to 10) that national law must include, so preparation is not wasted.
- Job architecture. Build or review gender-neutral job evaluation so you can group roles into categories of workers doing work of equal value (Article 4).
- Clean your data first. Article 9 reporting is only as good as the pay data behind it. Prioritise getting records complete and consistently structured by gender, job category and pay component, rather than assuming your current systems already produce this in a usable form.
- Contracts and recruitment. Review pay secrecy clauses and pay history questions now, as these changes carry little cost.
- Review date. Set a date to check for a published bill, as national timelines can move quickly.
