Reporting information related to pay transparency

Regulations on pay transparency require employers to submit data on the gender wage gap to the Incomes Register.

Submission of data is not required at this time

It is not currently known when the EU Pay Transparency Directive’s regulations enter into force. 

Read the draft Government proposal on pay transparency on the website of the Ministry of Social Affairs and Health (in Finnish)

We are following the legislative process and will provide instructions on this page as the matter moves forward.

Preliminary information on the reporting requirement

The information on this page is based on the Government’s draft proposal, according to which the reporting requirement would first only apply to employers with at least 150 employees.

After the Act enters into force, the following information must be included on the earnings payment report for employers subject to the reporting requirement:

• Itemised reporting of monetary wages, 200 series income types (reporting method 2)
• the following information on the employment relationship
  • type of relationship (full or part-time)
  • regular weekly working hours
  • for part-time employees, the part-time percentage.

Furthermore, the wage gaps between employee groups must be submitted with the employer's separate report. The earliest timeframe for reporting this information is spring 2027, which would be the time to report the information for 2026.

Technical documentation regarding the new information on the employer's separate report will be published on the Documentation page in May.
