Salary Transparency in Cyprus: Your Path to Fair & Compliant Pay Structures

What Is Salary Transparency?

Salary transparency means sharing how pay is structured and determined across your organization. Under the EU Pay Transparency Directive, Cypriot companies must disclose pay ranges for roles, address any gender pay gaps of 5% or more, and demonstrate fair, bias-free compensation practices.

Why It Matters for Businesses in Cyprus

• Legal Compliance

The EU Pay Transparency Directive, soon fully adopted in Cyprus, requires regular pay analyses and accessible salary data. Failing to comply risks both financial penalties and reputational damage.

• Fairness & Trust

A transparent pay system fosters employee loyalty and retention. Staff understand how salaries are set and see a commitment to equity.

• Risk Management

Proper documentation and openness shield companies from wage disputes and potential legal action over discriminatory pay practices.
