Webinar recording “Progress of the EU Pay Transparency Directive in the Baltic states”

With the June 2026 implementation deadline approaching and national approaches already starting to diverge, the session focused on what is currently known, what remains open, and how businesses operating across the Baltics can navigate an increasingly complex regulatory landscape.

During the webinar, Sorainen experts covered:

• the overall scope and objectives of the EU Pay Transparency Directive and why it matters for employers,
• the latest developments in Lithuania, including insights from the second draft of national legislation,
• the current situation in Latvia and Estonia, where draft legislation has not yet been published,
• key differences in national approaches and areas where employers should expect uncertainty,
• practical implications for international companies using centralised HR and pay structures.

Speakers and presentations:

• Edgars Riņķis, Senior Associate at Sorainen Latvia. Presentation “EU PTD: Latvia, early signals and likely regulatory direction”

• Agnietė Venckienė, Counsel at Sorainen Lithuania, co-head of Employment practice. Presentation “EU PTD: Lithuania in focus, what the fourth draft tells us”
