Galway City Council has today published its Gender Pay Gap Report, highlighting the percentage difference between what men and women are paid on average in the organisation, irrespective of roles or levels.
The 2024 report shows a Gender Pay Gap of -0.82% Mean and -13.67% Median.
Galway City Council reports a negative gender pay gap which indicates that on average females occupy higher paid roles than males.
Employers with more than 150 employees in Ireland are required to publish their gender pay gap data before the end of 2024 and within six months of their reference date. Galway City Council and all local authorities in the country chose 30 June 2024 as the reference date.
Publishing our gender pay gap data helps to reinforce our focus on supporting an open and inclusive workplace at Galway City Council. Our organisation is a place where all employees have the same opportunities for recognition and career development and are treated fairly and equitably at work. We continue to be committed to addressing workplace barriers to equality and creating an open and inclusive workplace community. Many equality, diversity and inclusion initiatives and supports are already in place, and we will continue to work in this area.
