I move amendment No. 3:

In page 4, between lines 24 and 25, to insert the following: “(ix) a gender breakdown of full time employees;

(x) a gender breakdown of part time employees;

(xi) a gender breakdown of employees with a flexible working hours contract;”.

Amendments Nos. 3 and 12 are similar and relate to structural inequalities in the workplace. We need to provide for a gender breakdown of full-time and part-time employees and those with flexible working arrangements.

Amendment No. 3 provides for the additional reporting of this information by employers. Amendment No. 12 seeks to strengthen the legislation by making provision for the gathering of data on part-time and full-time workers and those on flexible working hours. It is important that we should take the opportunity to make provision for this breakdown of information.
