European Union

With pay transparency and equity requirements tightening across both the U.S. and Europe, understanding how equity fits into the broader pay equity framework has never been more important. This session will explore how companies can proactively manage compensation fairness, mitigate legal risk, and prepare for upcoming EU regulations. Experts will discuss how to incorporate equity awards—such as RSUs, options, and performance grants—into pay equity
analyses and offer practical steps for compliance across regions.


KEY LEARNING POINTS:

  • Understand why U.S.-based companies should routinely conduct pay equity analyses under federal and state laws—and how equity awards factor into those reviews.
  • Learn how to value and integrate equity compensation (RSUs, options, performance grants) into pay equity assessments to ensure accurate and defensible results.
  • Gain insights into the EU’s new pay transparency and equity testing requirements—and how U.S. companies can conduct “look-ahead” testing now to identify and address potential compliance gaps before implementation.

This update highlights key global changes affecting employee share plans, including new or increased taxes in Belgium, Nigeria, Rwanda, and Argentina, as well as updated social security and taxation rules in Singapore and Vietnam. In the UK, the new PISCES framework will allow periodic secondary trading of private company shares, with draft legislation ensuring EMI and CSOP schemes can adapt without losing tax benefits, alongside clarifications on “Readily Convertible Assets.” Regular compliance deadlines across markets such as Australia, India, Saudi Arabia, Vietnam, and China are also noted to help companies stay aligned with reporting obligations.
