Minister affirms November deadline for gender pay gap reporting which this year applies to every organisation in Ireland with over 50 employees

March 31, 2025

The Gender Pay Gap Information Act 2021 requires employers to report on their gender pay gap across a range of metrics, as set out in the Regulations under the Act. The purpose of gender pay gap reporting is to encourage organisations to recognise and reflect on their gender pay gap and the drivers behind it.

Reporting began in 2022 for employers with over 250 employees and was extended to employers with over 150 employees in 2024. In 2025, employers with over 50 employers will be required to report on their gender pay gaps.

Employers are required to choose a ‘snapshot’ date in June each year and to base their reporting on the employees they have on that date. In 2025, employers will be required to publish their report in November.
