Recent curated accounts report that Poland proposed a draft legislation aimed at transposing the EU Pay Transparency Directive into its Labour Code on 4th May 2025. Reports indicate that initial steps to strengthen the enforcement of pay transparency have been taken, with a second version of the draft bill anticipated around 8th May 2026. Several accounts agree that Poland's legislative process is underway, with indications of both initial drafts and a timeline suggesting further developments. There is consensus on the need for greater transparency in pay practices, which aligns with broader EU objectives. While some accounts highlight delays and a lack of documented actions post, December 2025, others note ongoing legislative activity with a draft bill published in early 2026. Reports exhibit variance regarding the progress and specific details of implementation steps, which may reflect differing perspectives on the urgency and effectiveness of current measures.
