Pay transparency in Luxembourg
Draft stage
Luxembourg missed the 7 June 2026 deadline. In a reply to parliamentary question No. 4012 (16 June 2026), Labour Minister Marc Spautz said the Ministry's preliminary draft bill (avant-projet de loi) was still being coordinated with other ministries and would then go to the social partners. No bill has been filed with the Chamber of Deputies, as far as could be verified.
