  "bluf": "Article 10 of the EU Pay Transparency Directive (2023/970) requires employers to conduct a joint pay assessment with workers' representatives where the Article 9 pay gap report reveals an unjustified gender pay gap exceeding 5% in any category of workers. The joint pay assessment is a structured process carried out in cooperation with workers' representatives. It must identify the causes of the pay gap, assess proportions of male and female workers in different categories, compare pay levels and career development, assess the impact of flexible working and career breaks, and develop measures to address the gaps. The assessment must result in corrective measures with a specific implementation plan agreed with workers' representatives. The corrective measures must be implemented within a reasonable period and their impact monitored in subsequent Article 9 reports. Workers and their representatives must have access to all data and methodology used in the joint pay assessment. Member state transposition deadline is 7 June 2026.",
