Pay transparency
Pay transparency in Belgium
Whether the Directive has been transposed here, under which act, and what it asks of an employer. The duty is the national law's, never the Directive's own date.
- Who it applies to
- Employers, through their own state's law, once it is in force.
- The dates
- The states had until 7 June 2026 to transpose it.
- The one thing to do
- Nothing transposing it yet in Belgium: watch for the act, and prepare the pay gap figures.
Where the state stands
Belgium has communicated 6 measure(s) to the Commission, none of which the register records as transposing the Directive.
The deadline was 7 June 2026 and it has passed.
The register of communicated measures was read on 23 October 2026.
What the national act asks
No act of Belgium's has been read in full, as of 18 October 2026.
What the Directive sets, whatever the state has done
Employers with 250 workers or more report from 7 June 2027, and every year after. Those with 150 to 249 workers report every three years from the same day. Those with 100 to 149 workers report from 7 June 2031.
Those days are the latest a national law may set. A directive binds the state, and the employer owes what its own state enacted.
The duties as a catalogue, read against this state
Every duty of the Directive, with the evidence each one asks for and Belgium's own dates where the act is read.
