Pay transparency: salary in job adverts becomes mandatory

What is happening

EU directive 2023/970 should have been transposed into Dutch law by 7 June 2026; that did not happen. The bill (36949) is before the House of Representatives and not yet adopted; the government assumes 1 January 2027. Once in force: salary or salary range before the first interview, no questions about previous salary, and employees may request pay data of comparable colleagues. Reporting on pay gaps: yearly from 250 employees, every three years from 100.

Who it matters to

For business owners in every sector. Changes how you recruit and how you communicate about salaries.
