EU PAY TRANSPARENCY DIRECTIVE IMPLEMENTATION TRACKER 

We’ve collaborated with Addleshaw Goddard and give you EU Pay Transparency Directive implementation tracker that we regularly update.

New EU pay transparency rules are now taking effect across the EU. They will increase pay transparency, strengthen enforcement of the principle of equal pay between women and men, and improve access to justice for victims of pay discrimination.

In practice, this means employers will have to

• inform job seekers about the starting salary or pay range in the vacancy notice or ahead of the interview, and no longer be allowed to ask them about their pay history
• provide employees, on request, with information on their individual pay level and the average pay levels, broken down by sex, for categories of workers doing the same work or work of equal value
• publish information on the pay gap between female and male workers (employers with at least 100 employees)
• carry out a pay assessment if pay reports reveal a gender pay gap of at least 5% that cannot be justified

The new rules also improve access to justice for victims of pay discrimination

• workers who have suffered gender pay discrimination can receive compensation
• employers that do not meet transparency obligations will need to prove that there was no pay discrimination
• EU countries should set penalties for breaking the equal pay rule
• equality bodies and workers’ representatives can represent workers in legal or administrative proceedings

NEW CREDIT INSTITUTION ACT

New Credit Institution Act has been enacted and entered into force, transposing Capital Requirements Directive VI (CRD6) into Croatian law.
Transposition includes, the most interesting part, its Article 21c.
Article 21c of the CRD6 restricts non-EU (third-country) banks from providing cross-border banking services, such as lending or taking deposits, into the EU without establishing a local branch.
Third country banks can still rely on reverse solicitation as one of the exceptions available. There are no grandfathering provisions.
