Run IE Gender Pay Gap Report
Use the Gender Pay Gap report to show the difference in the average hourly wages between men and women in your organization. It provides a gender pay gap reporting extract and spreadsheet-based report configuration for organizations required to report under Irish legislation.
Payroll and HR administrators can use the assignment level extract and a spreadsheet template needed to calculate statutory Ireland gender pay gap metrics, supporting accurate submission under legislative requirements. The combined extract and template streamline the collection and statutory calculation of pay, hours and employment attributes so organizations can produce mean and median pay gaps, bonus and benefit-in-kind proportions, part-time and temporary comparisons, and quartile splits.
If you're an organization with more than 50 employees, you need report gender pay gap. This report is calculated, including balance information, at the assignment level for all active assignments as of the snapshot date.
Only active employees are included in the report as of the snapshot date and there should be a payroll run as on the snapshot date. Snapshot date is fixed to 30 June of the selected snapshot year; reporting period is 01 July (previous year) to 30 June (snapshot year).
Ensure payroll and HR mappings send ordinary pay, bonus pay, benefit in kind and any hours (including overtime) into the predefined balances (IE_GPGR_OPAY, IE_GPGR_BPAY, IE_GPGR_BIKPAY, IE_GPGR_HOURS) prior to running the extract to avoid missing data in the spreadsheet.
The hours need to include overtime and any hours worked outside normal hours. You need to feed those hours into the IE_GPGR_HOURS element to ensure accurate hourly rate calculations.
New balances and an information element are provided to feed hours and payment types so that the totals for the reporting period (1 Jul to 30 Jun) are recorded. These balances are predefined and you can add additional balances, as required.
| Base Balance Name | Balance Name | Reporting Name | Category Name |
|---|---|---|---|
| IE_GPGR_BPAY | Gender Pay Gap Reporting Bonus Pay | Bonus Pay | Information |
| IE_GPGR_OPAY | Gender Pay Gap Reporting Ordinary Pay | Ordinary Pay | Information |
| IE_GPGR_BIKPAY | Gender Pay Gap Reporting Benefit in Kind | Benefit in Kind | Information |
| IE_GPGR_HOURS | Gender Pay Gap Reporting Hours Worked | Actual Working Hours | Information |
These balance feeds are provided:
| Base Balance Name | Balance Feeds |
|---|---|
| IE_GPGR_BPAY | Bonus or similar payments |
| IE_GPGR_OPAY |
|
| IE_GPGR_BIKPAY | Any Taxable Benefits |
| IE_GPGR_HOURS | Hours from Element IE_GPGR_HOURS |
Results:
The output file is generated under the Regulatory and Tax Reporting folder for Ireland. Load the extract CSV file into the provided Microsoft Excel template (IEGenderPayGapAnalysis-v1.0-Template.xlsx) to generate statutory metrics and quartile breakdowns.Extract runs at assignment level and includes all assignments that are active on the snapshot date (30th Jun of the selected year). Each assignment row is counted as a headcount. The extract supplies raw data only. All statutory calculations (means, medians, quartiles, proportions) are performed in the spreadsheet template.
Returned fields including employee and assignment identifiers, gender, payscale and position, working hours and frequency, FTE (uses adjusted FTE when populated), contract type (regular and temporary), assignment status, PPSN, and predefined balances for ordinary pay, bonus pay, benefit in kind and hours.
Any assignments indicated as INACTIVE on the snapshot date are excluded. Each active assignment row counts as one headcount unless de-duplicated in the spreadsheet.
If adjusted FTE is populated, it will be used to identify part-time employees; otherwise standard FTE applies.
Spreadsheet-based report configuration and calculations: All final metrics (mean and median hourly pay gap, mean and median bonus gap, proportions receiving bonus and benefit in kind, part time and temporary contract comparisons, and quartile splits) are calculated in the template after loading the extract.
- Hours for the reporting year are calculated using normal hours, frequency multipliers (such as weekly or monthly) days worked in the year, plus any hours captured in the IE_GPGR_HOURS balance; overtime hours should be fed into the hours element for accurate hourly rates.
- The template will be used to de-duplicate or aggregate where required (for example, headcount de-duplication can be handled in the spreadsheet).
- Quartiles and mean and median calculations follow the rules in the legislation and are implemented in the spreadsheet; the extract provides raw data only.
- A provided Microsoft Excel template consumes the extract and performs all statutory calculations required by the Gender Pay Gap Information Act and associated regulations. The spreadsheet computes hourly remuneration, bonus and benefit in kind proportions, quartiles and mean and median gaps.
