Pay transparency module: reach every employee, with proof

MELP is building a module for the employee side of Lithuania's new pay transparency rules. Share your pay and benefit rules, answer employee requests on time and keep a dated record of everything you sent.

What the module will do

Pay and benefit rules in one place

Publish your pay system and benefit rules in the MELP app. Every version is kept with its date.

Read receipts

See who has opened each version and remind those who have not.

Informing and consulting

Share a draft with employee representatives or the whole team before you approve or change the pay system, and keep the comments together.

A yearly reminder of rights

Lithuanian employers must tell every employee each year about their right to pay information. MELP sends this reminder in each employee's own language, including to employees without a company email, computer or phone.

Employee requests on time

Employees ask in the app. Each request gets a deadline timer and reply templates, so no answer is late.

Benefits by job group

Set benefit budgets by job group, so rewards in kind follow the same objective rules as pay.

Export for payroll

Export benefits and job groups per employee for your payroll team, to help prepare the monthly SDUP report to Sodra.

A dated record

Every notice, read receipt, request and reply is logged with a date, so you can show what you did if the State Labour Inspectorate asks.

How it will look for your employees

Employees ask in the app they already use for benefits and news, and get a private answer on time. HR keeps every step on record.

1

The employee asks

Two taps in the MELP app. The request is registered and the one-month deadline starts counting.

2

HR checks and approves

The answer uses the figures Sodra sends you. Before anything is sent, MELP warns you if a job group is so small that an average could reveal a colleague's pay.

3

A private report, on record

The employee gets the report in the app, including people without a company email or computer. You keep a dated record of the request, the answer and when it was read.

Illustrative designs of the first version for Lithuania. Names and figures are examples.

What the module does not do

The module does not calculate pay gaps, import payroll or give legal advice.

In Lithuania, Sodra calculates the pay gap indicators from the data your payroll reports each month. Building or reviewing your pay system and job groups is work for an expert.

Questions about the module

When will the module be ready?

Toggle answer

It is being built now, starting with Lithuania. Join early access and we will tell you when it can be ready for your organisation.

Doesn't Sodra already do this?

Toggle answer

Sodra calculates the averages and pay gap indicators and sends them to you. Registering each request, answering within one month and delivering the answer without revealing a colleague's pay stays with you. The module covers that part; it does not calculate pay gaps itself.

Will it work in Latvia and Estonia?

Toggle answer

Not yet. Latvia's pay transparency law is still a draft, and Estonia's new rules mainly cover pay information for job candidates and pay secrecy. We will adapt the module as local rules take shape.

Does it replace legal advice?

Toggle answer

No. The module handles communication and records. Your pay system, job groups and any pay differences need an expert. Companies with staff in Lithuania can talk to our partner Amber Axis.

Help shape the module

We are looking for a few organisations with staff in Lithuania to build it with us. Early partners see the designs first and help decide what the employee report shows.
