什么是 Pay Transparency？ | HR 术语表 | BambooHR
Openness about pay levels, structures and the basis on which pay decisions are made.
Pay transparency is the practice of being open about how pay is set — whether by publishing salary ranges on job adverts, sharing pay bands internally, or explaining the criteria behind increases. It aims to build trust and reduce unexplained pay disparities.
The EU Pay Transparency Directive is driving significant change across member states, introducing obligations such as disclosing pay ranges to candidates, restricting questions about pay history, and reporting on gender pay gaps with a duty to act where gaps are unjustified. Ireland is transposing these requirements alongside its existing gender pay gap reporting regime.
For employers, readiness means having a defensible pay structure, consistent decision-making and clean data. Transparency exposes any weaknesses in how pay is currently managed, so preparation is as much about governance as about disclosure.
