As detailed in our
recent article, gender pay gap
("GPG") reporting requirements for
employers with 250+ employees will finally become a reality in
2022. While the regulations to the Gender Pay Gap Information Act
2021 remain outstanding, despite the imminent "snapshot"
date of June 2022 and subsequent "reporting" date of
December 2022, earlier this month the Department of Children,
Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth published guidance for
employers. Although these publications set out the suggested
approach for employers when getting to grips with the GPG metrics
and outline some useful FAQs, the guidelines are only intended to
provide guidance and we await the final regulations to provide the
legal basis for reporting.
