• Gender Pay Gap: Gender Pay Gap (GPG) reporting is a legal requirement in Ireland since 2022. With the recent reduction in the threshold for Gender Pay Gap Reporting to organisations with 150 or more employees in 2024, more companies are now required to disclose their GPG metrics, drivers of the gender pay gap and DE&I strategies that are aimed to help improve their pay gap. We provide a multitude of services; calculating the metrics, helping companies understand the key drivers and plans to manage the gap, aligning plans to company DEI and sustainability strategies and support on writing the narrative for final published report. We also advise companies on their internal metric calculations and performing a gap analysis to ensure compliance to the Regulations.
• EU Pay Transparency Directive: The EU Pay Transparency Directive (PTD) must be transposed into law by EU Member States by 7th June 2026.  The Directive will enhance the rights of both job seekers and employees alike and will enforce standardised requirements on pay transparency across the EU. Deloitte can facilitate information sessions and workshops to understand the Directive and identify gaps and opportunities, support in developing a roadmap to implementation, calculate Gender Pay Gap metrics and conduct equal pay audits. We can provide advisory on utilising job architecture in compensation frameworks, including salary bands and assist with overall communication and training for key stakeholders.
• Financial Regulation: Navigating the regulatory landscape and understanding market best practice for financial services can be complex, especially understanding the specifics of your local jurisdiction. Deloitte can provide remuneration advisory services on EU and Irish financial regulation

An effective executive compensation strategy is about more than financial incentive alone. To attract, retain, and motivate high-calibre talent, it must also align with business strategy, support company goals, and reinforce organisational values. Deloitte provide advisory services for executive director, non-executive director, and senior management remuneration, inclusive of market best practice and governance insights. We benchmark executive pay levels and advise on tax obligations, and governance.
