The 2024 report shows a Gender Pay Gap of 7.08%. This figure reflects the fact that, on average, males are paid 7.08% more than females in 2024. However, the Median Gender Pay Gap shows that the median rate of pay for females is 4.63% higher than the median rate of pay for males in the Council.
Employers with more than 150 employees in Ireland must publish their gender pay gap data before the end of 2024 and within six months of their reference date. Meath County Council and all local authorities in the country have 30th June 2024 as the reference date.
Commenting on the report, Meath County Council Chief Executive Kieran Kehoe said: “Sharing our gender pay gap data demonstrates our commitment to fostering an open and inclusive workplace at Meath County Council.
“We believe that every employee should have equal opportunities for recognition and career development, and we strive to treat all individuals fairly and equitably. Meath County Council is dedicated to identifying and overcoming workplace barriers to equality while building a supportive community for everyone.”
