No steps taken
No draft bill has been published yet in Spain, though implementation is reportedly on the government's near-term agenda.
Certain pay transparency obligations under the Directive already exist in Spain since 2019-2020, including equal pay for work of equal value and gender pay gap reporting. However, the Directive will introduce changes in domestic law, including pay transparency during the recruitment process, prohibition on asking about a candidate’s pay history, defining internal rules for pay levels and progression, a lower gender pay gap reporting threshold (from 25% to 5%), and extended limitation periods for pay discrimination claims (from one year to a minimum of three years).
