Pay Transparency? Not Just a Legal Requirement – a Competitive Advantage
Your business is our focus!
Pay transparency is not merely another administrative obligation. It is becoming a new foundation of modern employer practices. The EU Pay Transparency Directive will apply to all companies from 2026 — however, preparation must begin now. At ICT Európa, we help you design a transparent, legally compliant and at the same time competitive remuneration policy. Do not leave preparation to the last minute — delays can result in significant financial and operational risks. Let’s start the preparation today.

Challenges
We understand your challenges — and we have solutions
Discover the most common questions typically raised by companies that work with us on pay transparency.
What if our current salary structure does not comply with pay transparency requirements?
This is one of the most common starting points. We identify critical gaps, and provide concrete recommendations for restructuring your salary system — including phased implementation options where appropriate. Although the exact national legislation in Hungary is still pending, pay transparency regulations already in force within the EU foresee fines in the range of tens of millions of forints if non-compliance is identified by the authorities.
What should employers pay attention to in order to remain legally compliant?
The key requirement is demonstrable non-discrimination — proving that equal work receives equal pay. We assist in establishing appropriate documentation systems, updating remuneration policies and preparing for potential regulatory inspections. Our legal experts and HR consultants work closely together throughout the process.
How will this new system affect our salary increase policy?
Pay transparency actually supports more conscious and structured salary decisions. Together, we develop a transparent, objective and scalable remuneration framework that supports your long-term HR strategy — rather than restricting it.
How significant is the administrative burden of compliance?
This largely depends on how structured your current system is. However, every project begins with a review of what your organisation is already doing well and where only minor adjustments are required.
How do we ensure a smooth transition to pay transparency for your organisation?
We provide dedicated HR, legal and payroll experts throughout the project — and beyond, if required.
We support decision-making with accurate salary market benchmarks and data-driven analyses.
We build a system for continuous data monitoring, ensuring long-term compliance rather than a one-off solution.
