Work is underway to update existing legislation, with the new requirements expected to apply from June 2026
The government has published its draft law and is preparing to fully align national rules with the directive.
National guidance is still being developed, though changes are expected to build on Denmark’s current gender-pay reporting practices before June 2026.
Existing equality rules are being strengthened to include clearer pay-transparency duties and broader reporting requirements.
Implementation has been delayed, with the new national rules now planned to take effect on 1 January 2027.
An updated Pay Transparency Act is being prepared, with a draft expected in early 2026.
Gender pay-gap rules are being strengthened, with early public-sector updates already in place ahead of the June 2026 deadline.
