‘Firms to be fined if they don’t publish pay-gap figures’

Companies will face fines, or potential court-compliance orders, unless they publish gender pay-gap salary details at least once a year, under strict new laws set to be announced by the Government.

The potential new law will be tabled at Cabinet later this month, and it will insist that salaries, bonuses, hourly pay, and part-time work payments be published at least once a year.

This is a bid to address gender-based discrimination in the workplace.
