Live webinar: Implementing EU pay transparency with Claritava

Today! Wednesday, May 20, 2026 at 5 PM.

In 45 minutes, Florian Zürn shows live,
how companies can document their pay structures in line with EU requirements and
generate compliance reports at the push of a button.

Built from real-world experience.

„In more than a decade of HR consulting, I've seen leadership teams and HR departments face the same challenges time and again: pay structures that have grown historically, no consistent job architecture, and data scattered across three different systems. Claritava solves exactly that, built from real experience, not from a consultant's slide deck.“

WHAT MANY ORGANIZATIONS ARE EXPERIENCING RIGHT NOW

The topic is on the agenda. What's missing is a clear path through implementation.

The EU Pay Transparency Directive takes effect on June 7, 2026. Companies with 250 or more employees must publish their first report by June 7, 2027, with companies of 150 or more employees following a year later. What many are now discovering: their data foundation, job architecture, and processes aren't yet prepared for these requirements.

At the leadership level

Under the EU Pay Transparency Directive, the burden of proof lies with the employer. Anyone unable to objectively document pay differences has no defense in court, even if the difference has a reasonable explanation internally.

In the finance and legal department

An external consulting engagement for a pay gap analysis costs between 50,000 and 200,000 euros, without ongoing documentation and without support for the information requests employees will be entitled to make at any time starting in 2026.

In the HR department

The task is clear: analyze salary structures, justify gaps, and prepare reports. The capacity for it is not. Most HR teams are expected to handle this alongside their day-to-day work, with the same resources as before.

YOUR PATH WITH CLARITAVA

From your first data import to a finished EUPTD report in three steps.

Claritava guides your team through the entire process, without requiring you to hire external consultants for every stage. What classic consulting projects charge 50,000 to 200,000 euros per year for, your own team can handle, with clear guidance and a complete audit trail.

WHAT CLARITAVA ACTUALLY HANDLES

Pay transparency isn't a one-time project. Claritava supports every step, ongoing.

Jobarchitektur aufbauen

Build job architecture

Structure, evaluate, and classify roles in compliance with the law. Every position is graded using the 11-factor evaluation model. The AI pre-fills all factors based on job title and job description. The result is a traceable job architecture that is fully documented for any audit.

Gehaltsstrukturen sichtbar machen

Make salary structures visible

Salary bands, benchmarks, and market data in one system. Claritava shows, for each level, which employees fall below, within, or above the defined band, and automatically compares your structure with external market data and configured collective bargaining agreements.

Pay Gaps erklären und dokumentieren

Explain and document pay gaps

Unadjusted, adjusted, and broken down by compensation component. The statistical analysis separates objectively justifiable differences from genuine cases requiring action. For each open flag, a correction process can be started directly within the system.

Compliance laufend sichern

Ensure ongoing compliance

Pay transparency reports, statutory disclosure requests, and digital signatures in a single workflow. Reports go through a configurable approval process, are digitally signed, and archived. Claritava automatically monitors collective bargaining agreement updates and flags where changes are needed.

Yes. In Claritava, this is possible within the job architecture. In addition to the job description, additional skills, key tasks, and responsibilities can be structured and maintained there.

Claritava's job architecture includes a total of 11 factors. These are derived from the four overarching evaluation categories: skills, effort, responsibility, and working conditions.

Yes, the Claritava SaaS platform enables cross-departmental comparison of positions. Using the architecture map, positions can be visually compared with one another in a matrix.
The basis for this is the so-called grade, which is calculated as part of the job architecture. It enables a consistent and structured classification of all positions and makes differences in requirements, responsibility, and complexity transparent and comparable.

Yes, the Claritava platform is built on a flexible tree structure. This allows the entire company to be viewed centrally, while individual locations or organizational units can also be analyzed separately.

Yes, the so-called Compliance & Equity Inbox provides a central overview of all relevant alerts and critical cases.
From there, you can review and process each individual case directly. You have the option to accept and justify the findings, flag them for the next review cycle, close an alert, or dismiss it. This keeps the entire review and decision-making process transparent and traceable.

Existing HR data can be easily integrated into the Claritava SaaS platform. Standardized interfaces (APIs) to common HRIS systems, as well as CSV import, are available for this purpose.
This allows existing data to be transferred quickly and in a structured manner into the platform, without additional manual effort. This saves time and resources and enables an immediate start with data analysis and further processing.
