Agnė Bagdonavičienė, an attorney at “Leagus,” and Živilė Radavičiūtė, a legal assistant, attended a labor law conference that brought together experts in this field.

With the entry into force of the EU Pay Transparency Directive approaching, employers are already beginning an important preparation period. Lithuania must implement this directive by June 7, 2026, in order to ensure greater pay transparency and reduce the gender pay gap for work that is the same or of equal value.

“It is already necessary to evaluate the existing compensation systems and job descriptions. The mere existence of these documents will no longer be sufficient—remuneration criteria must be clearly defined, consistently applied, and based on objective principles. Properly drafted and effectively implemented documents will become a key element in ensuring compliance with the new transparency requirements,” says A. Bagdonavičienė.
