2026 nu inseamna doar bugete, obiective si planuri de recrutare. Pentru angajatori si profesionistii HR, este momentul-cheie pentru verificarea documentelor de personal<\/strong>, alinierea practicilor interne si prevenirea riscurilor legale care pot aparea pe parcursul anului.<\/p>\n

With today\u2019s regulations becoming stricter, this kind of review is no longer optional. From June 2026, pay transparency will be mandatory under EU Directive 2023\/970, as it is implemented into national law. Companies will need to demonstrate\u2014through clear documentation\u2014that salaries are based on objective, fair, and non-discriminatory criteria.<\/p>\n

In paralel, angajatorii se afla deja sub presiunea digitalizarii si a conformitatii administrative, inclusiv a trecerii la REGES Online<\/strong>, unde corectitudinea datelor transmise devine esentiala. In acest context, un audit HR al dosarelor de personal <\/strong>este una dintre cele mai eficiente masuri de preventie.

From \u201csalaries are confidential\u201d to the obligation to justify pay differences<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Until now, the Romanian Labor Code (Article 163) has stated that salaries are confidential. However, Directive 2023\/970 changes this approach completely:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • \n

    Employers will have to provide information on pay levels for comparable roles<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    Job candidates will have the right to know the salary range during the recruitment process<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    Employees will be able to request explanations for pay differences compared to colleagues in similar positions<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Across the EU, the average gender pay gap is around 13%, even for the same work or work of equal value. This reality has led to the introduction of real control and reporting mechanisms, not just general principles.<\/p>\n

    For employers, the message is clear: pay differences must be backed up by documents\u2014not just verbal explanations.<\/p>\n

    Why personnel file audits are critical before pay transparency becomes law<\/strong><\/h3>\n

    In cazul unei sesizari sau al unui litigiu, angajatorul va trebui sa demonstreze ca:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • \n

      Job roles are correctly defined<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    • \n

      Responsibilities are clearly stated in job descriptions<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    • \n

      Salaries are set within clearly defined and well-documented pay ranges<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    • \n

      Pay criteria are objective (experience, skills, performance)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    • \n

      Salary changes are consistent and well justified over time<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      All of this information must be found in the employee files.\nAn incomplete, outdated, or inconsistent file can become a major risk during a labor inspection or court case\u2014especially since Directive 2023\/970 makes it easier for employees to take legal action and limits employers\u2019 ability to recover legal costs.<\/p>\n

      2026 –\u00a0 momentul ideal pentru preventie, nu pentru reactie<\/strong><\/h3>\n

      Realizarea unui audit HR iti ofera un avantaj strategic:<\/p>\n

        \n
      • \n

        You have time to fix non-compliance without deadline pressure<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

      • \n

        You can align HR documents with your salary policies<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

      • \n

        You can prepare your company for upcoming reporting and transparency obligations<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

      • \n

        You significantly reduce the risk of internal conflicts and costly legal disputes<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
