Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality

General Scheme of the Gender Pay Gap Information Bill: Discussion

9:00 am

Ms Marie Sherlock:

I reiterate the point I made earlier about understanding the share and proportion of workers in terms of their employment status across the organisations. If we understand the amount of workers who are in part-time work, in temporary contracts and in agency work, then we will be able to remedy that. The responsibility should not be on the agency itself but on the employer which takes on the agency workers to be able to identify the share of workers who are agency workers and how that pay compares with the permanent workforce.
