Social Affairs and Labour Committee approves Labour Code amendments to transpose the Pay Transparency Directive
The Social Affairs and Labour Committee of the Seimas considered draft bill XVP, 1309(2) and its accompanying legislative proposals implementing Directive (EU) 2023/970. On 14 May 2026 the committee voted to approve amendments to multiple articles of the Labour Code establishing obligations on employers to provide individual pay information and average pay by gender to employees and to publish pay, gap indicators. The committee also recommended postponing the entry into force of certain disclosure provisions until 1 January 2027 to allow technical preparation by state bodies and business entities. The next procedural step is plenary consideration of the bill scheduled for the 2026 autumn session. Earlier: 2025, 12, 18, Ministry publishes draft Labour Code amendments and submits to Government.
