EU Job Posting Pay Range Pack
Post every EU role with a pay range you can defend. Build the range on objective criteria, carry the right wording in the advert, brief the recruiter, and track each posting until it is ready, all in one pack.
One-time purchase, no subscription. Instant download.
Built by expert HR practitioners and leaders
- The four hiring rules: a playbook on what the EU pay rules ask of every posting, with a five-step method to build a range you can defend
- A range builder: set and document a defensible range on objective criteria, and generate the posting line to drop into your advert
- Ready-to-fill templates and scripts: a posting checklist, the approval workflow, recruiter scripts, a manager worksheet, a candidate FAQ, and posting language
- A readiness-gated posting tracker: ready to post turns green only when the range is approved, the pay-history question is gone, and the wording is gender-neutral
- The pay-history pivot handled: recruiter scripts that hold the range and redirect the pay-history question without losing the candidate
- Range documentation and a readiness audit: record the basis for each range, and clear the audit across every country you hire in
The pack builds and documents a defensible range and tracks each posting. It does not determine that a posting complies and does not replace qualified local counsel.
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.

A playbook, ready-to-fill templates, and a posting tracker
The playbook frames the rules and the method. The templates give you the words. The workbook builds the range and gates each posting, in the order the Start Here lays out.

What each file does and the order to use them, in plain language. One page, read it first.
Pay Range Posting Playbook
The four hiring rules, a five-step method to build a defensible range, recruiter scripts, manager alignment, and a candidate FAQ. Read this first.
Templates and Scripts
A posting checklist, the approval workflow, recruiter scripts, a manager worksheet, a candidate FAQ, and ready-to-use posting language. Editable Word, fill in for each role.
Pay Range Posting Workbook
A range builder that generates the posting line, a readiness-gated posting tracker, a range documentation record, a readiness audit, and definitions. Works in Excel or Google Sheets.
Build the range, post it right, track it to ready
Set a defensible range, drop it into the advert with the right wording, and gate each posting until it is ready. The pack drafts and documents; local counsel makes the legal calls.
Read the playbook and build the range
Read the playbook for the four rules and the method, then use the range builder to set and document a defensible range and generate the posting line.
Drop the range into the advert
Copy the posting line into your advert, and use the posting language and the checklist so the wording is gender-neutral and carries what the role needs.
Brief the recruiter and align the manager
Use the recruiter scripts to hold the range and handle the pay-history question, and the manager worksheet to align on the range before the role goes live.
Gate each posting and document the basis
Track every posting on the posting tracker, which turns green only when the range is approved and the wording checks out, then record the basis on range documentation and clear the readiness audit.
Built to post a defensible range, not to certify the rule
What a posting must carry differs by country, and several member states require pay information in the advert itself. The pack is built to prepare a documented position and clear about where counsel takes over.
Where the pack stops and local counsel starts
The pack prepares a documented range and a defensible posting. Whether it satisfies the law is a legal question. These are the points to route to qualified local counsel.
Who does what
The pack does the posting work. You make the decisions and keep the record, and local counsel rules on the law. Here is the split.
- The pack builds the range; you set it. The builder structures it on objective criteria and generates the line. The range itself is your decision.
- The pack gives the words; you run the hire. The templates and scripts carry the wording. The conversations and the hire stay yours.
- The pack marks the legal calls; counsel makes them. It flags where national law decides what a posting must carry. Those calls belong with qualified local counsel.
- The pack keeps the record, and the record is the point. A documented range and a gated posting are what turn a challenge from a guess into a defensible position.
Who it’s built for
Who this fits, and where to go if that’s not you.
Built for
- A company hiring in the EU that needs every posting to carry a defensible pay range and the right wording.
- A talent or HR lead who has to brief recruiters, align managers, and track postings, and wants the scripts and the tracker ready.
- A team that has its job structure set and now needs to post the ranges with confidence.
If you are looking for
- The whole EU readiness program. The Global Employer EU Readiness Bundle adds the pay transparency toolkit, job architecture, the pay-information tracker, and the HR AI checklist.
- The pay structure underneath the ranges. The EU Job Architecture and Equal Value Work Kit grades roles and groups them by value, so your ranges sit on a defensible structure.
