Pay transparency advisory services
We help organisations prepare for the requirements of the EU Pay Transparency Directive through readiness diagnostics, pay system reviews, job evaluation, pay structure design, and preparation of managers and HR teams for new responsibilities.
What does pay transparency advisory involve?
We support organisations in preparing their systems, processes and people for new expectations related to pay transparency, clear remuneration principles and the ability to justify pay differences objectively.
- organisational readiness diagnostics,
- pay system analysis,
- job evaluation,
- pay structure and pay range design,
- remuneration policy development,
- manager preparation,
- change communication,
- support for HR and HR Business Partners.
What is pay transparency?
Pay transparency is not only about publishing salary ranges. It is primarily about employees’ right to information, clear and objective pay criteria, and the organisation’s ability to demonstrate that pay differences are justified.
For organisations, this means the need to organise job structures, remuneration principles, bonus systems, internal communication and managers’ readiness to discuss pay-related topics with employees.
Why should organisations prepare now?
- new obligations arising from the EU Pay Transparency Directive,
- growing employee expectations around fairness and pay transparency,
- risk of disputes, tensions and allegations of pay discrimination,
- the need to prepare managers for pay-related conversations,
- the need to build trust in the organisation and its pay decisions.
Who is affected by the new requirements?
Pay transparency is not only an HR topic. In practice, it influences the way organisations manage people, communicate decisions, set pay levels and build relationships with employees.
- management boards and business owners,
- HR directors,
- HR Business Partners,
- line managers,
- compensation and benefits specialists,
- legal and compliance teams.
How can we help your organisation?
We combine the perspectives of HR, remuneration, communication and change management. As a result, preparation for pay transparency does not stop at document review, but covers the real readiness of the organisation, managers and HR teams.
Job evaluation
We help organise job structures and create a basis for objective pay decisions.
Pay structure design
We support the design of clear pay ranges, grading structures and rules for their practical application.
Remuneration policy
We develop principles that help the organisation communicate and justify pay decisions consistently.
Bonus system audit
We analyse bonus mechanisms in terms of clarity, consistency and understandability for employees.
Preparation of managers and HR
We train managers, HR Business Partners and HR teams in conversations, communication and implementation of new rules.
What challenges do we solve?
- no job evaluation → structured job architecture,
- inconsistent pay levels → analysis and recommendations,
- unclear bonus rules → design of transparent principles,
- unprepared managers → training and support,
- no remuneration policy → development of documentation,
- growing employee expectations → communication and organisational preparation.

FAQ
What does pay transparency mean?
It means clear remuneration principles, objective pay criteria and the ability to explain the reasons behind pay differences.
Does pay transparency mean disclosing everyone’s salary?
No. It primarily concerns principles, criteria, pay ranges and employees’ right to information, rather than full disclosure of individual salaries.
Why should organisations start preparing early?
Preparation requires structuring job roles, pay systems, communication and managers’ competencies. It is a process that cannot be carried out effectively at the last moment.
What is job evaluation?
It is a structured process of assessing jobs against objective criteria, helping organisations build consistent pay structures and justify remuneration decisions.
What are pay structures?
Pay structures are organised pay ranges assigned to job levels, roles or grading groups within an organisation.
How can managers be prepared for pay transparency?
Managers need knowledge, tools and conversation scenarios so that they can explain remuneration principles and respond to employees’ questions.
Is a remuneration policy necessary?
A remuneration policy helps describe the rules for pay-related decisions, reduces discretion and supports transparent communication within the organisation.
What risks can preparation for pay transparency reduce?
It reduces the risk of disputes, allegations of pay discrimination, loss of trust, internal tensions and inconsistent remuneration decisions.
Does Heuresis support both HR and managers?
Yes. We support HR teams, HR Business Partners, managers and management boards in diagnostics, solution design, training and change communication.
Where should an organisation start?
The best starting point is a readiness diagnosis of the remuneration system, HR processes and management competencies.
