Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality
General Scheme of the Gender Pay Gap Information Bill: Discussion
9:00 am
Ms Denise Roche:
Currently, if a company does not comply with IHREC, it has to go to the Circuit Court to secure an order to enforce compliance. We are asking it to go to court. It is time-consuming and we have an overburdened court system. In Iceland, if there is non-compliance, a company gets a chance to comply and if it does not comply, there are daily fines related to the turnover of the business in question. It can be quite substantive but will force companies to comply.
