Further notes on some of the non- EU countries listed on the previous page: Iceland has a strong regulatory framework to ensure the concept of ‘equal pay for work of equal value’. All employers with 25+ employees are required to obtain certification under the ‘IST 85 standard’ verifying that their pay policies ensure equal pay for work of equal value. Iceland is not in the EU, but it is a member of the EEA and may choose to adopt parts of the EUPTD. Liechtenstein is currently reviewing its approach and is expected to adopt a significant part of the EUPTD including the GPG requirements. Montenegro is not an EU member state but GPG reporting requirements are on the way. New legislation was drafted in the summer of 2025. that will introduce reporting requirements for employers with 100+ employees. A member of the EEA, Under the ‘Law of Ukraine on Remuneration’ employers with 50+ employees must submit quarterly wage statistics to the government which includes some data broken down by gender
although this does not represent a formal GPG analysis. 3) Countries/ States who have no arrangements and who do not appear to have any new regulation on the way: The countries/ states listed below have no current GPG reporting requirements and are not members of the EU, as a result, no changes are anticipated in the short-term.
