One Directive. Thirty national contexts.
Transposition is uneven, and several countries go beyond the minimum. What matters for planning is not only whether a law exists, but what it says about job evaluation, categories of workers and thresholds.

What to read from it
The legal position sets the deadline. The method sets the workload.
Whatever a national law says, the same underlying capability is required: objective, gender-neutral categories of workers that can be explained. Countries that have not yet transposed do not get a later start on that work.
Find local implementation support- Check the national size thresholds, which sometimes sit below the Directive.
- Check how a category of workers is defined in the national text.
- Check the role given to worker representatives in the assessment.
