Abstract: The Pay Transparency Directive (EU) 2023/970 represents a significant step toward reducing gender pay gaps and promoting equal treatment in employment. This article provides an in-depth legal and empirical analysis of the Directive’s implementation challenges and opportunities within the Slovenian context, with a particular focus on enforcement and non-contentious legal mechanisms. Based on qualitative interviews with Slovenian employees, the study explores how workers perceive transparency measures and legal protections against discrimination. Findings reveal that pay transparency strengthens perceptions of fairness but also highlight practical concerns related to privacy, procedural delays, and cultural attitudes toward pay disclosure. The article concludes with policy and legal recommendations for effective implementation, including awareness-raising, the development of alternative legal remedies, and the alignment of national jurisprudence with the case law of the CJEU.
