How to report on the Gender Pay Gap

In 2026, employers with over 50 employees must publish their Gender Pay Gap reports on their own website or ensure that their reports are accessible to the public in some other manner by the end of November 2026.

The Department of Children, Disability and Equality has developed an online centralised reporting database, the Gender Pay Gap Portal.

The Gender Pay Gap Portal launched on a voluntary basis in November 2025, and data on the portal is now available for the public to view and compare across a range of metrics.

Employers with over 50 employees will be legally obligated to report their gender pay gap information to the Gender Pay Gap Portal for the 2026 reporting cycle. The Portal is now available for employers to register.

Employers will still be required to publish their reports on their own websites or ensure that they are accessible to the public in some other manner.

Legislation has been drafted to amend the gender pay gap legislation to provide the statutory basis for employers to be required to report their gender pay gap information via the online portal in 2026.
