Pay Transparency 2026
What should you know, and how can NEXON help?
Transparent pay practices, regulatory compliance and competitive employer operations with a single integrated HR system
Pay transparency promotes transparent and objective pay practices that contribute to equal treatment and strengthen employee trust. As a result of the European Union’s pay transparency legislation, an increasing number of companies are reviewing their compensation processes and data. NEXON’s digital HR solutions support the development of pay structures, data analysis and organisational readiness.
Fundamentals
What is pay transparency?
From June 2026, pay transparency will become an unavoidable issue for workplaces across Europe and Hungary. Directive (EU) 2023/970 on pay transparency must be transposed by the Member States, including Hungary, by 7 June 2026.
The key objectives of pay transparency legislation
Reducing the gender pay gap
Eliminating pay discrimination
Establishing transparent and justifiable pay systems
Scope and deadline
Who does pay transparency apply to?
By 7 June 2026, every Hungarian company, regardless of organisational size, must be prepared to comply with the principles of pay transparency. Job advertisements will be required to include pay information relating to the position. It cannot be ruled out that the national legislator will also introduce minimum requirements for companies with fewer than 100 employees.
What deadlines should companies expect?
Compliance obligations are differentiated primarily according to the size of the organisation.
