Takeaways
Greece’s law became effective on July 6, 2026, although its main pay-transparency obligations are postponed until November 1, 2026.
The law largely follows the Directive’s framework but includes several country-specific provisions concerning pay structures, enforcement, employees’ information requests and regulatory oversight.
The Greek Ombudsperson is positioned to play a central role in interpreting and enforcing the new framework.
Employers with operations in Greece should begin reviewing compensation structures, recruitment processes and pay transparency readiness ahead of the law’s substantive implementation dates.
