The four rules behind it
| Headcount | First report by | Then | Article |
|---|---|---|---|
| 250 or more | 7 June 2027 | every year | 9(2) |
| 150 to 249 | 7 June 2027 | every three years | 9(3) |
| 100 to 149 | 7 June 2031 | every three years | 9(4) |
| Fewer than 100 | none set | voluntary | 9(5) |
Article 9(2): “Employers with 250 workers or more shall, by 7 June 2027 and every year thereafter, provide the information set out in paragraph 1 relating to the previous calendar year.” Article 9(3) and (4) use the same words for 150 to 249 workers (7 June 2027, every three years) and 100 to 149 workers (7 June 2031, every three years).
Article 9(5): “Member States shall not prevent employers with fewer than 100 workers from providing the information set out in paragraph 1 on a voluntary basis. Member States may, as a matter of national law, require employers with fewer than 100 workers to provide information on pay.”
What is not in the checker
It does not count your workers for you. The Directive’s own definitions and each country’s transposing law decide who counts and what a country may add. Article 34(1) set 7 June 2026 for Member States to bring those laws into force; check national measures on EUR-Lex for yours. For the seven indicators and the 5% trigger, see pay gap reporting.
