Pay transparency in Ireland: what employers need to do now

Pay transparency is quickly becoming a central focus for employers across Ireland. The EU Pay Transparency Directive was due to be transposed into Irish law by 7 June 2026, with implementation in Ireland expected to take place on a phased basis. As the Irish position continues to develop, employers should use this period to prepare their pay data, policies, governance and internal communication approach.

In this webinar, Caroline Reidy, Head of HR Solutions will outline what pay transparency means in practice, the steps employers can take now, and what good preparation looks like across pay data, processes and internal communication.
