Built by expert HR practitioners and leaders

  • Six EU readiness tools in one bundle: the pay-transparency toolkit, job architecture, the posting pack, the pay-information tracker, the HR AI risk checklist, and a readiness checklist
  • $349 instead of $495 if you bought the five toolkits and kits one at a time, a saving of $146
  • The flagship readiness toolkit: a guide and a workbook that run the data inventory, the pay gap review, and the country tracker
  • The hiring and equal-value work: job architecture on objective criteria, the posting pay-range rules, and the worker pay-information request with its two-month answer
  • The HR AI side: inventory, classify, and govern the AI behind recruitment, performance, and promotion decisions under the EU AI Act
  • One sequence, in order: a program guide and a Start Here that put the whole readiness program in the right order

The bundle organizes the readiness work, documents your decisions, and prepares a position for legal review. It does not guarantee compliance and does not replace qualified local counsel.

One-time purchase Instant download Editable files 14-day guarantee

Readiness tools and general business information for planning, not legal or tax advice. The EU pay transparency rules are set by Directive (EU) 2023/970 and put into effect by each member state national law, which varies and is still arriving. Confirm country-specific requirements with qualified local counsel.

Six tools, one sequence, in the right order

The EU pay transparency rules and the EU AI Act are arriving together. The bundle organizes both into one readiness program, in the order to work it.

How to use it

Run the readiness work in one order

Start with the data and the structure, then the hiring rules and the AI, and arrive at legal review with the work done.

STEP 01

Read the toolkit, then run the workbook

The flagship guide frames the Directive. The Readiness Workbook runs the data inventory, the pay gap review, and the country tracker, so you see where you stand.

STEP 02

Set the structure with equal-value work

Use the Job Architecture kit to define equal work and work of equal value on objective criteria. The pay gap review only holds up on a defensible structure.

STEP 03

Fix the hiring rules and the AI

Apply the posting pay-range rules, set up the worker pay-information process and its two-month answer, and inventory and classify the AI behind your people decisions.

STEP 04

Document, then take it to counsel

Record the basis for your decisions, clear the readiness audit across every country you hire in, and bring the documented position to qualified local counsel and data protection review.

The standard

Built to prepare you for legal review, not to replace it

Two EU rule changes are landing on employers in the same year. The bundle treats them as one body of work and is clear about where counsel takes over.

When you sit down with a lawyer you arrive with the work done rather than a blank page. The bundle organizes the readiness work, the templates document your decisions, and the trackers keep the evidence.
One body of work, not two. The pay transparency rules and the EU AI Act are organized into one readiness program with one sequence, so you are not running them as separate projects.
Built on the Directive, honest about national law. The framework reflects Directive (EU) 2023/970. Each member state writes it into its own national law, which varies and is still arriving, so the tools prepare a position rather than certify one.
Never a compliance guarantee. These are readiness tools and general information, not country-specific legal advice. Confirm what applies with qualified local counsel and data protection review before you act.
Dated and reviewable. Every file carries a last-reviewed date, and meaningful updates are released as national laws and the AI Act timeline move.

Where the bundle stops and local counsel starts

The bundle prepares a documented readiness position. The country detail and the legal calls belong with qualified local counsel. These are the points to route.

Whether a posting must carry the range or provide it before interview The size thresholds and timing in each country you hire in A pay gap of 5 percent or more that may trigger a joint assessment The worker pay-information right and its national deadlines Classifying an AI system as high-risk under the AI Act Anything that touches data protection or works council consultation

Who does what

The bundle does the readiness work. You make the decisions and keep the evidence, and local counsel rules on the law. Here is the split.

  • The bundle organizes the work; you run it. The guides frame it, the templates document it, and the trackers hold the evidence. The decisions stay yours.
  • The bundle structures the data; you confirm the numbers. The workbook runs the pay gap review and the country tracker. The figures and the entities are yours to verify.
  • The bundle marks the legal calls; counsel makes them. Every tool flags where national law decides the answer. Those calls belong with qualified local counsel.
  • The bundle keeps the evidence, and the evidence is the point. A documented position, dated, is what turns a legal review from a blank page into a check.
Is this for you

Who it’s built for

Who this fits, and where to go if that’s not you.

Built for

  • A global employer with people in the EU, preparing for the pay transparency rules and the EU AI Act in the same year.
  • An HR or reward lead who needs to organize the readiness work, document decisions, and arrive at legal review with the work done.
  • A company that wants the whole EU readiness toolset in one sequence, rather than buying five tools and stitching the order together.

Questions

Before you buy

What exactly is included?
Six tools: the EU Pay Transparency Readiness Toolkit, the Job Architecture and Equal Value Work Kit, the Job Posting Pay Range Pack, the Employee Pay Information Request Tracker, and the HR AI Risk Checklist, plus a free readiness checklist, a program guide, and a Start Here.
How much do I save versus buying separately?
Bought one at a time, the five toolkits and kits come to $495. The bundle is $349, so you save $146. Each tool also stands alone if you want to start with one.
Is this legal advice or a compliance guarantee?
No to both. These are readiness tools and general information. The pay transparency rules are set by Directive (EU) 2023/970 and put into effect by each member state national law, which varies and is still arriving. They help you organize and document the work and prepare for legal review. Confirm what applies with qualified local counsel.
Which rules does it cover?
The EU pay transparency directive, Directive (EU) 2023/970, and the HR side of the EU AI Act. The directive covers posting pay ranges, the worker pay-information right, gender pay gap reporting by headcount, and the joint pay assessment trigger. The AI Act covers the AI behind recruitment, performance, and other employment decisions.
When do these rules apply?
The deadline for member states to write the directive into national law was 7 June 2026, and most national laws are arriving after it. Under the AI Act, some duties already apply and the heavier high-risk duties are set for the end of 2027 on the current planning baseline. Timing differs by country, so confirm locally.
What format are the files?
Editable Word templates, Excel workbooks, and PDF guides, all yours to keep. The workbooks open in Excel or Google Sheets, and each file carries a last-reviewed date.
Do I get updates?
Meaningful updates are released as national laws and the AI Act timeline move, and each file carries a last-reviewed date so you can see how current it is.
What is the refund policy?
Digital products are covered by a 14-day money-back guarantee. See the refund policy for the full terms.
What happens after I buy?
Checkout delivers an instant download of the full bundle, and a receipt with the same link arrives by email. Open the Start Here first. If a file gives you trouble, email support@truestephr.com.
Can I expense this purchase to my business?

Most customers buy TrueStep HR tools for business use, and a tool you use for work often qualifies as a deductible business expense. Whether it does for you depends on your situation, so confirm with your accountant or tax professional. Your receipt arrives by email at checkout and works as documentation.
