Current trends and developments in EU pay transparency.
We reflected on labour law developments in 2025 and offered a well-informed outlook for 2026. Our focus was on the imminent amendment to the Equal Treatment Act, which is intended to implement the Pay Transparency Directive.
Presentations:
- How technology, internationalisation and EU law are fundamentally changing our labour law - Christoph Wolf (Partner, CMS)
- Key issues in equal treatment law: What do companies need to prepare for? - Andrea Potz (Partner, CMS)
- How should remuneration systems be designed in the future? - Andreas Jöst (CMS)
- Transformation: Turning ‘old’ into ‘new’ - Daniela Krömer (Partner, CMS)
- Remuneration transparency and (the fundamental right to) data protection - Jens Winter (Partner, CMS)
This was followed by a wrap-up by Bernhard Hainz (Partner, CMS), after which the event concluded with a relaxed gathering in keeping with the culinary theme of 'Sweet mustard & wine', featuring Leberkäse and wine from organic winemaker Viktoria Schödl.
