The European Union (EU) Pay Transparency Directive will apply to every employer with a headcount in the EU. The deadline for implementing the directive in each EU country is June 7, 2026, which is less than 12 months away, so the clock is ticking! Join us as we explore the directive’s key provisions, including pay transparency, the categorization of workers (such as those performing work of equal value), and the requirements for reporting the gender pay gap. Pete Bell, a member of Ogletree’s data analytics team, and Daniella McGuigan will discuss the directive and its implications, including the actions and preparations you may want to consider now.

On June 27, 2025, Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) Director Catherine Eschbach published a letter asking federal contractors to voluntarily submit information to the agency identifying their efforts to “wind down” compliance with Executive Order (EO) 11246. On July 1, 2025, OFCCP published three proposed rules seeking to formally rescind the implementing regulations under EO 11246 and modify the regulations implementing Section 503 of the Rehabilitation Act and the Vietnam Era Veterans’ Readjustment Assistance Act (VEVRAA). These developments follow the U.S. Department of Labor’s congressional budget proposal, which seeks to eliminate OFCCP and transfer enforcement of Section 503 and VEVRAA to other federal agencies. Join this timely webinar as the speakers review these changes and what they mean for covered contractors, as well as best practices for maintaining compliance under EO 14173, Section 503, and VEVRAA.
