Leitrim County Council Gender Pay Gap Report 2024
Leitrim County Council has today (19th December 2024) published its Gender Pay Gap Report for 2024 highlighting the percentage difference between what men and women are paid, on average, in the organisation, irrespective of roles or levels. The gender pay gap is the difference in the average hourly wage of all men and women across a workforce.
The 2024 report shows a Mean Gender Pay Gap of -5.4% meaning that, on average, females are paid 5.4% more than males. The Median Gender Pay Gap shows that the median rate of pay for females is 17.06% higher than the median rate of pay for males. This doesn’t mean that males are paid less than females for doing the same job, but it does indicate that, on average, females occupy somewhat higher paid roles than males.
Employers with more than 150 employees in Ireland are required to publish their gender pay gap data before the end of 2024, and within six months of their reference date. Leitrim County Council, and all local authorities in the country, chose 30th June 2024 as the reference date.

Our organisation is a place where all employees have the same opportunities for recognition and career development and are treated fairly and equitably at work.
