The EU pay discrepancy act, Crystel Robbins Rynne CEO HRLocker and Fredericka Sheppard Co-Founder and Managing Director Voltedge Management

Something that is not talked about enough is pay transparency and the fact that on the 7th of June 2026 all EU countries had to comply with the EU pay discrepancy act. Ireland missed this deadline but will bring it on a phased basis and employers have been urged to take steps to prepare for its full implementation. To find out more about pay transparency and the EU pay discrepancy act I spoke to Crystel Robbins Rynne CEO HRLocker and Fredericka Sheppard Co-Founder and Managing Director Voltedge Management.

Crystal and Fredericka talk about their backgrounds, salaries, putting good frameworks in place and more.
