ARE WE IN SCOPE?

Anti-discrimination has no employee threshold — pay transparency does.

The prohibition of discrimination applies to every employment relationship, regardless of the size of the operation: the employer must take the measures necessary to protect against discrimination, and suitable training of employees counts as fulfilment of that duty § 12(1) and (2) AGG; employees have a right to complain, and the responsible office must be made known within the operation § 13(1), § 12(5) AGG. In Austria the same basic structure is carried by the Austrian Equal Treatment Act § 3 and § 17 GlBG. Size thresholds appear only on pay: in Germany the right to information in operations with, as a rule, more than 200 employees §§ 10 to 12 EntgTranspG, in Austria the income report from permanently more than 150 employees § 11a in conjunction with § 63(6) GlBG.

Inside the kit: an obligations matrix as a guided checklist — headcount, employee representation, collective agreement coverage, recruitment process — with a legal reference for every criterion. The requirements of the Pay Transparency Directive (EU) 2023/970 are marked as preparation, not as an applicable national obligation.

INSIDE THE KIT

TRAINING PACK · FROM THE PLUS PACKAGE

Two training sessions, ready to deliver.

For in-person or online training in your own organisation: a 90-minute workshop for managers and a separate training for the complaints office, both with trainer notes, plus a knowledge test and a certificate of participation template. In Germany, suitable training of employees under § 12(2) AGG counts as fulfilment of the duties of protection under § 12(1) AGG. The training concepts and the training record are already included in the Basic package (folder 01). In the kit, the e-learning is included only in the Complete package.

WHY TWO VERSIONS

Germany is not Austria — your kit knows that.

🇩🇪 Germany — AGG

  • Protected characteristics: race or ethnic origin, sex, religion or belief, disability, age, sexual identity (six groups of characteristics, eight grounds under § 1 AGG) § 1 AGG
  • Take protective measures; suitable training counts as fulfilment of that duty § 12(1) and (2) AGG
  • Employees have a right to complain; the responsible office must be made known § 13(1), § 12(5) AGG
  • Compensation; where a candidate is not hired, no more than three months' salary if they would not have been hired even without discrimination § 15(2) AGG

🇦🇹 Austria — GlBG

  • Prohibition of discrimination in the employment relationship — sex as well as ethnic origin, religion or belief, age and sexual orientation § 3 and § 17 GlBG
  • Job advertisements gender-neutral and stating the applicable minimum pay § 9(1) and (2) GlBG
  • Income report every two years from permanently more than 150 employees § 11a in conjunction with § 63(6) GlBG
  • Compensation for sexual or gender-related harassment of at least EUR 1,000 § 12(11) GlBG

That is why your kit comes as one version per country: you buy DE or AT — no mixed “DACH” templates. Every legal reference, every office and every deadline matches your jurisdiction. On pay the position is the same in both countries: under Art. 34(1), the Pay Transparency Directive (EU) 2023/970 was to be transposed by 7 June 2026; as at 17 August 2026 no transposing act had been adopted in either Germany or Austria. The pay transparency module therefore presents the requirements as preparation — the applicable national law remains the EntgTranspG and the GlBG.

Legal references in the Word and Excel documents checked against the official full texts (EUR-Lex · gesetze-im-internet.de · RIS) — edition 2026, legal status August 2026.

UPDATES

Legal-status updates for 12 months — included.

If the legal situation changes, you receive an updated document version by e-mail or download link — for 12 months from delivery. Afterwards, existing customers receive further updates on preferential terms. Your documents stay with you even after the update period (Terms § 8(6)) — nothing is locked, nothing expires.

HONEST LIMITS

What the kit is not.

  • Not legal advice: standardised documentation with legal references, no case-by-case review.
  • Not a certificate: your documentation stays your responsibility — the kit makes it complete and traceable.
  • Not a "DACH" blend: you buy the German or the Austrian version — never a mixture.

FREQUENTLY ASKED

In short.

Does the AGG also apply to small operations?

Yes. The prohibition of discrimination and the employer's duties of protection under § 12 AGG are not tied to any headcount; the right to complain under § 13 AGG has no threshold either. Size thresholds appear only on pay: in Germany the right to information in operations with, as a rule, more than 200 employees (§§ 10 to 12 EntgTranspG), in Austria the income report from permanently more than 150 employees (§ 11a in conjunction with § 63(6) GlBG).

Does the kit cover the EU Pay Transparency Directive?

As preparation yes, as an applicable national obligation no. The transposition deadline for Directive (EU) 2023/970 expired on 7 June 2026 under Art. 34(1); as at 17 August 2026 no transposing act had been adopted in either Germany or Austria. The pay transparency module therefore works with the requirements of the directive — for example the reporting duty for employers with 250 or more employees by 7 June 2027 and annually thereafter (Art. 9(2)) — and marks what only becomes binding with national transposing law.

How do I buy?

Choose Basic, Plus or Complete, confirm that you are buying as a business and pay by card or SEPA direct debit via Stripe, or by bank transfer against invoice; you receive an invoice with VAT ID. We deliver the personalised kit as a download link within 48 hours of receipt of payment (working days). No subscription. Questions or a custom quote: contact form.

Is the kit kept up to date when the law changes?

Yes — for 12 months from delivery you receive updated document versions when relevant law changes. Afterwards, existing customers receive further updates on preferential terms; the delivered documents stay with your company permanently: perpetual right of use, no lock, no account.

Germany or Austria — what do I get?

You choose your jurisdiction when ordering and receive the version for your country. There is deliberately no mixed "DACH" version.

Does the kit replace legal advice?

No. The kit is standardised compliance documentation with legal references — no advice on your individual case. For the final sign-off we recommend a review by your legal counsel where needed.

Legal bases and status

Legal status of the documents: 17.08.2026. The basis in Germany is the General Equal Treatment Act (AGG) and the Pay Transparency Act (EntgTranspG), in Austria the Equal Treatment Act (GlBG). Under Art. 34(1), the Pay Transparency Directive (EU) 2023/970 was to be transposed by 7 June 2026. As at 17.08.2026 no transposing act had been adopted in either Germany or Austria, so the kit presents its requirements as preparation. The legal references in the Word and Excel documents have been checked against the official full texts. Standardised documentation, no legal advice in individual cases.
