The Gender Pay Gap Information Bill has been published.
Businesses employing 250 people or more are advised to start
examining whether they are ready and able to:
- Conduct a business wide gender pay
audit; and
- Explain and publish the results.
While a date has not yet been set to progress the Bill, as
initiated, through the Irish parliament, it is likely that progress
will be made in the coming months towards introducing mandatory
gender pay gap reporting in Ireland.
Further, as a second year of mandatory pay gap reporting draws
to a close in the UK, what lessons have we learned from the UK
experience and how can Irish employers prepare to report on their
gender pay gaps.
