BACKGROUND INFORMATION

The EU Pay Transparency Directive is set to transform how organisations in the EU address pay equity, gender pay gap reporting and employee rights. The Maltese Government has already formalised the transposition of this directive into local legislation via Legal Notice 112 of 2025, underlining the urgency for organisations in Malta to act now.

With compliance deadlines fast approaching, and Malta's initial specific obligations in place, this session provides critical, practical guidance for organisations to understand the directive’s requirements, assess their current state and implement meaningful actions. Participants will gain insights into foundational steps such as job evaluation and job grading for accurate job categorisation, as well as change management approaches to prepare HR teams, leaders and managers for the cultural shift required for successful implementation.

SPECIFIC TOPICS TO BE COVERED DURING THE SESSION

• Overview of the EU Pay Transparency Directive and Malta’s transposition through Legal Notice 112 of 2025

• Key obligations for employers in Malta and across the EU, including reporting, disclosure and employee rights

• The importance of job categorisation and how to define 'categories of workers performing equal work or work of equal value'

• How job evaluation and job grading form the bedrock of compliant and defensible pay structures

• Practical steps to prepare for reporting on gender pay gaps, joint pay assessments and transparency in recruitment

• Addressing cultural shifts: equipping HR, leadership and managers to engage on pay transparency and employee rights

• Recommended roadmap and timelines to meet compliance deadlines, especially with Malta’s formalised requirements

Why is the session of relevance to our members?

With Malta now partially formalising the Pay Transparency Directive requirements, organisations can no longer afford to wait. This is not just a legal obligation, it is an opportunity to transform how pay equity is addressed in the workplace
Whether your organisation is just beginning or looking to strengthen existing practices, this session will offer valuable methodologies, insights and practical considerations to navigate the new pay transparency landscape – both at EU and Malta levels. We will explore the critical foundations of job evaluation, job categorisation and cultural change, guiding organisations on how to approach compliance while fostering competitiveness and employee trust.
