Hungary
Pay Transparency
Impact date: Awaited
There has been no indication yet of when the Pay Transparency Directive will be transposed in Hungary, however the implementation process has entered its final stage. The Ministry of National Economy has drafted the Hungarian legislation and conducted necessary consultations with key decision-makers and market participants, but the draft has not yet been made public.
Employer implications/action needed
Employers should continue with their pay transparency preparations and continue to monitor the Directive transposition progress in Hungary and across the EU.
Employer risk There is currently no specific legal provision regarding a breach of the principle of equal pay, but the injured party can seek compensation for damages through a Labour Lawsuit.
