From December 24, 2025, regulations requiring the disclosure of salary information during the recruitment process and prohibiting asking candidates about their earnings history will come into effect in Poland. This is the first step towards implementing Directive (EU) 2023/970, which is expected to be fully implemented by June 7, 2026, and which introduces, among other things, the right to information on salaries and pay gap reporting. (Legal basis: EUR-Lex – Directive 2023/970; Polish changes regarding recruitment from December 24, 2025 are described by Infor and DGP, among others.) In this episode, a legal advisor from KZ Legal explains who will be subject to the new obligations, what information must be included in recruitment, how the employee's right to information works, and who reports the pay gap and when (employment threshold and schedule – including the first report for 2026 in June 2027, and the 150–249 and 100–149 thresholds). We also explain the reversal of the burden of proof, possible compensation and penalties, and provide a practical implementation checklist for HR and compliance. What will you learn from this episode? 🔸 What salary information should be provided to candidates and when (e.g., in the job advertisement or at the latest before the interview). 🔸 What does the ban on asking about previous remuneration mean and how to change the recruitment process? 🔸 The right to information about salaries and the scope of data available to employees. 🔸 Pay gap reporting – who will be covered, from when (2027/2031), and how often. 🔸 Legal and financial risks (reversal of the burden of proof, sanctions) and a checklist for company implementation. Note the deadlines: Poland has until June 7, 2026, to fully implement the directive; however, from December 24, 2025, the principles of salary transparency during the recruitment phase will apply (information about the amount or range, gender-neutral language in job advertisements, prohibition of questions about salary history). If you need an audit of your remuneration policy, preparation of regulations, recruitment procedures, and a reporting plan, contact KZ Legal. We will help you implement the requirements in a legally compliant and business-safe manner.
