CroatiaThe article discusses new European Union regulations aimed at increasing wage transparency in Croatia. These rules require employers to disclose salary ranges for specific jobs and report pay differences between men and women for equal work. The deadline for implementation has passed, but Croatia has not yet incorporated these changes into national law. According to the Ministry of Labor, legislative amendments are expected to soon enter the procedure. Employers will need to provide detailed information on how salaries are determined, including job categories and evaluation criteria. While trade unions welcome greater transparency and expect the rules to address long-standing wage disparities, some employers warn of potential administrative burdens. The reforms aim to simplify processes through digital systems and minimize costs for businesses.
