Entgelttransparenzgesetz and the Directive: what changes?

We have lived with the Entgelttransparenzgesetz for some years, and honestly the individual information right has been used by perhaps fifteen employees out of 2,200. So my management tends to assume the Directive will be similarly quiet.

I do not share that view. As we understand the Directive, it adds things the current law does not have in the same form: pay information for applicants, regular gap reporting, and a joint assessment with employee representatives where a gap cannot be justified. I am still waiting for the final German implementing text. What are others preparing now, and what are you leaving until then?
