Just last month, the Minister for Children, Equality, Disability
Integration and Youth made regulations requiring certain employers
to publish information in relation to the gender pay gap in their
organisations. In addition, employers will be required to publish
the measures taken by them to eliminate or reduce the gender pay
gap. With the spotlight being shone on different levels of pay
between men and women in the workplace, should similar
consideration be given to differing levels of pensions coverage in
the workplace?
Sarah McCague, Partner, Pensions, is joined by
Daniel Watters, Senior Associate, Pensions, to discuss the gender
pensions gap, what the law says on the topic and whether the advent
of auto-enrolment is likely to improve the situation.
