Three duties under Directive (EU) 2023/970, checked against the ad text you paste.
Art 5(1)
Applicants have the right to receive, from the prospective employer, information about the initial pay or its range, based on objective, gender-neutral criteria. It must reach them before the interview. Publishing it in the ad is the simplest route.
Art 5(2)
An employer shall not ask applicants about their pay history during their current or previous employment relationships. Salary expectations are different and are not flagged unless they reference current or past pay.
Art 5(3)
Employers shall ensure that job vacancy notices and job titles are gender-neutral.
Four ready-to-edit documents: a compliant salary-range clause in English, German and French, a gender-neutral pay-criteria statement, an interviewer one-pager, and a contract checklist item. Generated in your browser. Nothing uploads.
Under Art 18(2), where an employer has not implemented the pay transparency obligations set out in Articles 5, 6, 7, 9 and 10, it is for the employer to prove that there has been no such discrimination.
