Sixteen days from the transposition deadline. The directive does not introduce pay reporting — it introduces auditable pay reporting. That distinction is what most companies are not prepared for.
Edmondson defined it in 1999. Google confirmed it in 2015. The signal is behavior, not opinion — and the gap between the two is exactly where attrition hides.
