The EU Pay Transparency Directive (EU) 2023/970 asks employers to show that women and men are paid equally for work of equal value. paygaps, based in Mainz, Germany, helps you do that with your own payroll data. It starts with the jobs. Each role is evaluated on skills, effort, responsibility and working conditions, the four criteria the Directive names. Roles of equal value then form comparison groups across departments and job titles. Within those groups, paygaps measures the gender pay gap, both raw and adjusted with a regression model, and shows where it sits, what explains it and what needs attention. From there you can: • set salary ranges for each group and use them in job ads before the first interview • plan annual pay rises based on position in the range • answer employee requests for pay information • produce the pay gap report with every figure the Directive requires, as PDF, Word or CSV • give managers, reviewers and the works council their own access Pay data comes straight from DATEV, Personio, HR WORKS and other HR systems, or from a CSV file. paygaps is built and hosted in Germany and supports the obligations of both the German Pay Transparency Act (Entgelttransparenzgesetz) and the new EU rules. paygaps provides analysis and documentation, not legal advice.
