Starting in 2027, your salary policy will be laid bare: are you ready?

19-05-2026

At ImpactWork, we believe that a level playing field is the foundation of a healthy team. The new European Pay Transparency Directive is forcing employers to finally get serious about this. No more vague salary indications, but clear figures and an objective compensation system. 

Our own Jildert Huitema was interviewed by De Ondernemer about the impact of this legislation on the Dutch workplace. In the article, he dives into the necessity of a solid job grading structure, the disappearance of the term "market-competitive salary," and why the burden of proof is shifting to the employer.

Jildert’s key message: "Transparency isn't a threat to the entrepreneur; it’s an opportunity to stand out as an attractive and fair employer."
