    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)

    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.

    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

    What is benefits compliance?

    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.

    Does Origin certify compliance or give legal advice?
    Does Origin calculate our gender pay gap?
    Is EU Pay Transparency support included as standard?
    Can Origin produce our CSRD report?

    See how Origin supports benefits compliance.

    Start with one priority, such as your EU footprint, an upcoming audit or one country's statutory benefits, and build from there.
