New EU directive promotes salary transparency in Romania

hotnews.ro (Romanian)

A new EU directive, effective mid-2026, will end salary secrecy in Romania, granting employees the right to discuss and compare pay. Companies must now justify pay disparities with objective criteria, as salary confidentiality clauses will be void. Employers must also disclose salary ranges in job postings. This directive aims to ensure equal pay for equal work and requires companies with over 100 employees to report pay gaps. Romania faces potential infringement procedures if national legislation is not transposed by the deadline.
