EU Pay Transparency: How Can Gecko HRM Support You?

Implementing EU Pay Transparency regulations requires bringing together information from across HR, recruitment, payroll and compensation. For many organisations, that means one system will not contain every piece of data needed for the final reporting process.

So, where does Gecko HRM fit in?

Gecko HRM is one of the important data sources organisations can use when preparing for EU Pay Transparency reporting. It provides employee, organisational and salary data that HR can analyse and export, then combine with information from other sources, such as payroll, where required.

It is not designed to replace payroll or statutory reporting solutions. Instead, its role is to make the HR side of the picture structured, accessible and ready to use.

What EU Pay Transparency Data Can Gecko HRM Provide?

Gecko can maintain core employee master data, including employee ID, name, gender and tax ID, alongside information recorded in employment contracts, such as position, department, employment dates, legal entity and agreed salary. This provides a source of contractual employment and salary data for reporting.

This fits into Gecko’s wider approach to workforce administration, where employee records and organisational data are kept centrally to provide a reliable reporting base.

For HR teams preparing for pay transparency, that means relevant people data does not need to be recreated purely for this exercise.

Can Gecko Support Salary Transparency During Recruitment?

Yes. The new version of Gecko Recruitment allows salary ranges to be displayed on job advertisements. This supports organisations that need to make salary information available to applicants as part of the recruitment process.

We have covered the broader recruitment implications of the here, including what earlier salary transparency means for recruiters, candidates and internal pay structures.

Which EU Pay Transparency Requirements Can Gecko Support?

Here is the current overview of requirements that Gecko can support either fully or with limitations.

How Can Gecko Reporting Help HR Work With This Data?

Gecko’s reporting functionality allows HR teams to create reports and dashboards from data held in the platform. HR administrators can also export information to other systems, including payroll, ERP and BI tools.

For EU Pay Transparency, this is particularly relevant because the final reporting picture may need information from several sources.

Gecko can provide the HR and gross salary data it holds. Payroll or accounting systems may hold additional remuneration data, such as bonuses or variable pay. Those data sources can then be brought together outside Gecko where the final reporting requirements call for it.

Does Gecko Cover Every Aspect of EU Pay Transparency Reporting?

No, and that distinction matters.

Gecko provides an important part of the data needed for pay transparency, but it is not positioned as a complete statutory reporting solution. Some calculations need data Gecko does not store or additional calculation logic outside standard reporting.

For enterprise organisations with more specific requirements, additional configuration, reporting or custom development may be considered as a separate project. What is possible depends on the organisation’s requirements and existing Gecko setup.
