• Rule 1 - 250 staff and over — Employers with 250 or more workers report every year, first report by 7 June 2027.
• Rule 2 - 150 to 249 staff — Employers with 150 to 249 workers report every three years, first report also by 7 June 2027.
• Rule 3 - 100 to 149 staff — Employers with 100 to 149 workers report every three years, but the first report is due 7 June 2031.
• Rule 4 - under 100 staff — Employers under 100 workers are outside the reporting duty; the tool says so instead of guessing.
• Rule 5 - the 5 percent joint pay assessment line — A gap over 5 percent in a category of workers that is not justified on objective gender-neutral grounds and not fixed within six months forces a joint pay assessment with workers' representatives.
• Rule 6 - three-year back pay window — Article 21 of the Directive sets limitation periods of at least three years, so the tool prices the gap times the affected headcount times three.

When you use the tool, the extension sends one anonymous count a day (the tool’s name only — no inputs, no personal data). Turn it off on the first page after install. Firefox asks first and sends nothing unless you allow it. A licence key is checked with the payment provider (Polar) only when you enter one.
