Pay transparency is becoming law. Your organisation can be ready in time — with clear steps and a tool built exactly for this.
JobGrade evaluates and ranks positions within your organisation in accordance with EU Directive 2023/970. A digital platform with a validated methodology, built for Romanian companies.

Three real problems we solve
A single deadline
From 2027, the new rules come into force.
EU Directive 2023/970 makes pay transparency mandatory. Organisations with 100+ employees will be required to report remuneration gaps. A robust, objective job evaluation system is no longer a competitive edge — it is the foundation your compliance stands on.
Traditional consulting — a cost hard to justify
Traditional consulting engagements run between €30,000 and €150,000. Established methodologies — Hay, Mercer, WTW — were built for multinationals. For a 500-person organisation, the investment routinely exceeds €80,000.
Excel spreadsheets are not legal evidence
The burden of proof is reversed: under EU Directive 2023/970, employers must demonstrate the absence of discrimination. A spreadsheet with no structured audit trail does not meet that standard — whether in a regulatory inspection or before a court. Structured documentation gives you that certainty.
How JobGrade works
You define the positions
Import existing job descriptions or build them directly in the platform. JobGrade extracts the elements relevant to evaluation. Bring what you have — the platform handles the rest.
You evaluate with the committee
The internal committee designated by your organisation evaluates roles against 4 primary criteria (as defined under EU legislation), broken down into 6 secondary criteria. AI assists and flags inconsistencies — but every decision remains human, in line with Art. 14 of the AI Act.
You receive reports compliant with Directive EU 2023/970
Role hierarchy, gender pay gap analysis under EU Directive 2023/970, and full audit documentation — generated automatically, ready for reporting, regulatory review, or collective bargaining.
