COMPLIANCE AND REGULATORY READINESS
Benefits compliance evidence, ready before anyone asks.
EU Pay Transparency, sustainability disclosures and local audits now ask you to prove what your benefits provide. Origin™ keeps that evidence structured and current, alongside Legal and your advisors.
Common benefits compliance challenges
Pay lives in payroll, with a clear data model and an audit trail. Benefits data lives in PDFs, reports and email, so every request for evidence is answered by hand.
EU Pay Transparency benefits data
Legal asks for a structured inventory of your EU benefits. The data sits in multiple reports, in different formats and languages.
ESG and CSRD benefits disclosure
Your sustainability team asks what your benefits provide in each country. All you can give them is a spend total.
Statutory benefits and audit readiness
An auditor asks for proof that each country meets its legal minimum. The evidence takes weeks to put together.
First pay-gap reports under the EU Pay Transparency Directive are due by
7 June 2027 for employers with 150 or more employees.
(Directive (EU) 2023/970)
VISIBILITY · SEE IT
One evidenced record of every benefit and mandate
Your plans, the legal minimum and your collective agreements sit side by side, so the evidence is ready before the request.
Every plan, eligibility rule and vendor by country, so Legal gets a structured inventory, not a consulting project.
INTELLIGENCE · DECIDE IT
Benefits compliance risk flagged in plan design
Your team sees which benefit designs need a closer look, and reviews them with Legal early, not after an audit.
GOVERNANCE · RUN IT
An audit trail that builds as you work
Records and changes are kept as you work, so an audit pack comes from the system, not from memory.
What this looks like in practice
How benefits teams use Origin to get their compliance evidence in order.
EU PAY TRANSPARENCY
Ten flagged risk factors became more than 30 to review
An external review flagged ten benefit design elements as possible EU Pay Transparency risks for a global healthcare company. When the reward team reviewed every benefit design with its data structured in Origin, it found more than 30 to take to Legal.
COLLECTIVE AGREEMENTS
Collective agreements read in full, not secondhand
A global hospitality company's EMEA rewards team used to rely on local HR to say which parts of each collective agreement mattered. With agreements translated in Origin, the team now reads them in full as it prepares for EU Pay Transparency.
LOCAL STATUTORY AND AUDIT
47 employees without basic life insurance, found and covered
A global pharma company brought 13 local insurance policies across one region into one place. The review found 47 employees in one country with no basic life insurance. The team closed the gap and moved to a single regional plan.
"…I can understand what is statutory, what that associated spend is, what the requirements are."

FAQs
Benefits compliance is how an organization shows that its benefits meet the rules that apply to them: the statutory minimum in each country, collective agreements, and disclosure rules such as the EU Pay Transparency Directive and CSRD. It depends on structured, traceable benefits data that Legal, auditors and advisors can check.
No. Legal and your advisors decide what is required. Origin keeps the evidence structured and traceable so they can check it. It doesn't certify compliance or provide assurance.
No. Origin holds no employee personal data and no pay data by sex. It records the benefits scope, valuation and rationale that feed your pay gap process.
No. The core platform holds your benefits inventory and collective agreements. Statutory benefits and EU Pay Transparency support are available as add-ons, so speak to us about the package that fits.
