Inside Business with Ciaran Hancock · Will new pay transparency rules close the gender pay gap for good? · 27 May 2026 podcast

Will he be his own man or a patsy for Donald Trump's economic agenda?

First to pay transparency.

A new EU directive requiring employers to slow salary ranges in the workplace and toughen rules enforcing gender pay equality comes into effect on June 7th.

However, Ireland is set to miss the deadline with no draft legislation in place.

Nicola Harkin is Head of Employment Law Services at Employers Group IBEC and she joined me in studio to explain how the new rules will work.

I began by asking Nicola to explain the key elements of the new EU pay legislation and what it will mean for Irish employers and their staff.

Here we go.

Yeah.

Now, this directive is supposed to commit to force on June 7th, but Ireland isn't going to meet that deadline, is it?

Okay.

So how many companies are members of IBEC?

So how prepared are they for this new legislation?

So when this is implemented and an employer is advertising for a particular role, what will it mean for the employer?

What will change?

And what does it mean for the employee?

So, for example, is the salary level disclosed in this job ad?

But that hasn't been decided upon?

Now it is a pay transparency directive so it would kind of make sense to be transparent about the pay, wouldn't it?

Yeah.

You don't want the salary information to be included in the job ad?
