Pay transparency doesn't have to be complicated

The EU directive introduces new requirements around documentation, job structure and pay reporting. With Mindkey, it becomes a natural part of your existing HR work - not a separate project.

Why pay transparency?

More than a legal requirement

The Pay Transparency Directive requires organisations to explain how pay is determined - and to document that pay decisions are made fairly and objectively. However, companies that work proactively with pay transparency also use it to strengthen trust, improve employee retention, and enhance their employer brand.

  • Gender pay gap reporting
  • Employees' right to pay information

How Mindkey structures Pay transparency

Structure makes pay explainable

Pay transparency does not start with reporting - it starts with ensuring that jobs, levels, and salaries are aligned. Mindkey helps you build that structure, making salary decisions easier to explain and reporting an ongoing process rather than an annual compliance exercise.

The Mindkey solution

With Mindkey, you get a complete pay transparency module that allows you to:

Create and maintain salary ranges for each job
Link every job to a defined pay range with a minimum, midpoint, and maximum salary.

Assign DISCO codes to your job hierarchy
Occupational classification codes ensure comparability across job titles and departments – and form the foundation for external reporting.

Produce gender-based analyses and pay reports
Identify pay gaps exceeding 5% and produce the documentation required to explain and address them.

Document objective pay criteria and ensure an audit trail
Skills, performance, responsibility, and working conditions - all documented, justified, and stored.

Provide employees with GDPR-secure access to their pay data
Role-based access ensures transparency is delivered under the right conditions and with the appropriate level of security.

Pay Transparency and Salary Reviews in one integrated process

Two sides of the same coin

In Mindkey’s Salary Review module, HR and managers can adjust salaries within defined pay ranges, monitor progression over time, and document pay decisions. The result is a salary process that is both strategic and compliant - not just an annual administrative task.
