Pay Transparency Update - Increased Risk of Pay Discrimination Claims
 

The EU Pay Transparency Directive (the Directive) must be transposed into Irish law by 7th of June. While smaller Organisations may anticipate that they will fall outside the scope of the Directive, all Employees will soon acquire rights to access a more extensive level of pay information under the legislation no matter the headcount of the Organisation. This raises a number of questions that Organisations need to address ahead of the Directive coming into effect.
