Global Employer EU Readiness Bundle

Run your EU readiness as one program. Two rule changes are landing on employers together, pay transparency and AI, and this bundle gives you every tool to organize the work, document the decisions, and prepare for legal review, in one place and in one order.

The whole EU line in one sequence for two rule changes

A program guide that frames the work, a fast scan to see where you stand, and the five focused tools that each take one workstream. The guide maps every part of the work to the tool that handles it.

• Program Guide and Start Here. The framework at a glance, how the tools fit together, and the order to work them in, with a map of each part of the readiness effort to its tool. Read it first.
• EU Pay Transparency Readiness Checklist. A fast scan of where you stand today, as a PDF and an editable Word version. The entry point before the toolkit guide.
• EU Pay Transparency Readiness Toolkit, the flagship. The guide and the twelve-tab Readiness Workbook that runs your data inventory, pay range documentation, the pay gap review with the 5 percent flag, the country tracker, and the action plan.
• EU Job Architecture and Equal Value Work Kit. The guide and the point-factor scorer that define equal work and work of equal value on objective criteria.
• EU Job Posting Pay Range Pack and EU Employee Pay Information Request Tracker. The recruitment rules, with a range builder and a posting gate, and the two-month worker pay-request right, with a log that runs the clock.
• EU HR AI Risk Checklist. The guide, the records, and the classifier that inventory and govern the AI behind your people decisions.

The method in one sequence

Frame the program, scan where you stand, then work the foundations and the focused tools in order. The bundle organizes and documents the work; counsel makes the calls that carry legal weight.

• Frame and scan. Read the Program Guide, then run the Readiness Checklist to see where you stand and read the Toolkit guide.
• Build the foundations. Build your job architecture and equal-value groups, then work the Readiness Workbook: the data inventory, the pay gap review, the country tracker, and the action plan.
• Fix recruitment and the request right. Use the Job Posting Pay Range Pack for hiring, and stand up the Request Tracker for the two-month pay-information window.
• Govern the AI. Inventory, classify, and govern your HR AI with the HR AI Risk Checklist.

Built on two regimes and honest about its limits

The bundle treats the pay transparency Directive and the AI Act as one body of work, so you arrive at legal review with the work done rather than a blank page, and it is clear about where counsel takes over.

• Never a stand-in for legal advice. It is not a compliance guarantee, not country-specific legal advice, and not a substitute for qualified local counsel. It prepares a documented position you take into legal and data protection review.
• The framework checked against current sources. The pay work reflects Directive (EU) 2023/970 and its 7 June 2026 transposition deadline; the AI work reflects Regulation (EU) 2024/1689 on its phased timeline. Both are framed as a reference to confirm, not a guarantee.
• Country detail stays local. National rules vary and several go further than the Directive, so the country detail is something you confirm locally, and no national rule is hard-coded into a formula.
• Dated and reviewable. Every file carries a last-reviewed date, and the trackers keep the record of what was reviewed and when.

Who it is built for

Built for

• A global or multinational employer with people in the EU, preparing for the pay transparency Directive and the AI Act in the same year.
• An HR leader who wants the full readiness program in one place and one order, rather than five separate purchases.
• A team that will sit down with counsel and wants the readiness work organized and documented before it does.

If you are looking for

• One workstream, not the whole program. Each tool sells on its own: the toolkit, the job architecture kit, the posting pack, the request tracker, or the HR AI risk checklist.
• US or Canadian posting rules, not the EU regimes. The US State Pay Transparency Pack and the Ontario Job Posting Transparency Pack cover those.

Before you buy

What is in the bundle and is it the same as buying the tools separately?

It is the complete EU line in one purchase: the program guide and Start Here, the Readiness Checklist, the flagship Toolkit with its workbook, the Job Architecture and Equal Value Work Kit, the Job Posting Pay Range Pack, the Employee Pay Information Request Tracker, and the HR AI Risk Checklist. The tools are the same as the standalone versions, packaged in one sequence.

What format are the files and can I edit them?

Guides as PDFs with editable Word versions, two Excel workbooks, and Start Here pages, each product in its own folder with its own Start Here. The workbooks work in Excel or Google Sheets, everything is editable, and the files are yours to keep.

Is this legal advice?

No. It is general information and a self-review structure for planning. The bundle marks where to bring in qualified local counsel and your data protection adviser, and it does not determine that your organization complies. National rules vary, so confirm the country detail with counsel before you act.

What are the headline rules it prepares for?

On pay: recruitment transparency for every employer, the two-month worker information right, pay-gap reporting phased by headcount, and a joint pay assessment where a gap of 5 percent or more in a category is not closed in six months. On AI: the inventory, classification, oversight, and records the AI Act expects for high-risk HR systems. The Program Guide lays out both.

Are the amounts in euros and is the price in dollars?

The thresholds in these tools are headcounts and percentages rather than currency, so the tools are currency-neutral. The store price is in US dollars.

Will it stay current as the rules settle?

Both areas move, so every file carries a last-reviewed date and meaningful updates are released as national pay laws arrive and the AI timeline settles. Check the date and confirm the country detail with local counsel before you lean on it.

What is the refund policy?

Digital products are covered by a 14-day money-back guarantee. See the refund policy for the full terms.

What happens after I buy?

Checkout delivers an instant download link, and a receipt with the same link arrives by email. Open the Start Here page first; it tells you the order to work in. If a file gives you trouble, email support@truestephr.com.

Guides, workbooks, templates, and general business information for planning, not legal or tax advice. The pay transparency rules are set by Directive (EU) 2023/970 and the HR AI rules by Regulation (EU) 2024/1689; national law varies and is still arriving, so confirm country-specific requirements with qualified local counsel.
