With the 7 June 2026 transposition deadline for the EU Pay Transparency Directive fast approaching, French social partners have yet to see the draft legislation implementing it. The delay has fuelled concern among employers and unions alike, while the national association of HR directors (ANDRH) has called for the reform to be phased in gradually.
Organisations taking part in the French labour ministry’s consultation process say they are still awaiting the text that will set out how the country intends to transpose the EU Pay Transparency Directive into national law, just four months before the deadline. “We were supposed to meet again on 29 January, before the text was presented to the Council of Ministers. The meeting was cancelled and since then, there has been no news. We are waiting for a new date to be set,” explains Jean-François Foucard, from the CFE-CGC trade union, which represents executives.
