Consultation launched on Gender Pay Gap Information Regulations
Date published:
A consultation on proposed changes to Section 19 of the Employment Act (Northern Ireland) relating to the requirements for employers to publish information on the pay of male and female employees has been launched by the Department for Communities.
These requirements show whether there are differences in the pay of male and female employees, the Gender Pay Gap, and the consultation will look at employers within the public, private and voluntary sector and consult on requirements for employers with 250 employees and above.
The consultation will provide views and information to:
- Identify Gender Pay Gaps;
- Analyse the drivers behind them;
- Explore the extent to which employers’ own policies and practices may have contributed to the gaps; and
- Encourage employers to take remedial action.
The consultation will run from 25 November 2024 until 14 February 2025. Details on the Consultation on The Gender Pay Gap Information Regulations are available.
