Ireland: 2026 gender pay gap reports due

Takes effect November 30, 2026By WorkblissUpdated October 19, 2026

What’s happening

Employers with 50 or more employees must publish their gender pay gap report within five months of a snapshot date they picked in June 2026. That deadline was shortened from six months, and basic pay now includes pay during statutory leave such as maternity and paternity leave.

What to do

Check your snapshot date, publish on your website on time, and pair the figures with a clear action plan.
