Gender pay equality is top priority for Irish firms in 2023

New year, new equal pay priorities for PwC,  Iarnród Éireann, eir and Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown Co Council and others

Many Irish companies have been quick to reduce gender pay gaps since the The Gender Pay Gap Information Act 2021 came into operation on May 31, 2022. A number of companies had taken actions ahead of the act's introduction.

Reducing the gender pay gap is priority No1 for many high-profile Irish companies, as evidenced by a series of in-house reports both measuring the gaps and outlining action plans.

This New Year seal is, of course, largely inspired by The Gender Pay Gap Information Act 2021, which came into operation on May 31, 2022, initially obliging organisations with over 250 employees to conduct gender pay disparity reports.
