Ireland Gender Pay Reporting
Globalization Partners International Ireland Limited (“G-P”) Gender Pay Gap Report (Snapshot Date: 1 June 2025)
Background
The Employment Equality Act 1998 (Section 20A) (Gender Pay Gap Information) Regulations 2024 (“the Regulations”) came into effect in 2024 and require that employers with 150 or more employees analyse and publish data showing their gender pay gap, across certain prescribed metrics for hourly and bonus pay.
In this report, as required by the Regulations, G-P discloses the median and mean (average) pay gaps between male and female’s hourly pay and bonuses, and the percentage of males and females receiving benefits in kind.
Irish businesses can choose their own snapshot date and must report data on their employee gender pay gap based on the preceding 12-month period. G-P chose 1 June 2025 as the snapshot date. Businesses are also required to distinguish between the gender pay gaps for full-time, part-time and temporary roles; however, this report will not make such distinction as all employees on the snapshot date were employed on a full-time basis.
As of the snapshot date, G-P employed 192 employees for the purposes of the Irish gender pay gap reporting regulations. Of these employees:
128 identified as male;
62 identified as female;
1 did not respond; and
1 did not wish to disclose.
Gender Pay Gap Figures:
The tables below display the figures required by the Gender Pay Gap Reporting Regulations for G-P on the snapshot date.
Gender Pay Gap Statistics: Current reporting year
All employees | As of 1 June 2025 |
|---|---|
Mean (average) gender pay gap using hourly pay | 20% |
Median gender pay gap using hourly pay | 15% |
Mean (average) gender pay gap using bonus pay | 26% |
Median gender pay gap using bonus pay | 17% |
Percentage of male employees receiving a bonus | 94% |
Percentage of female employees receiving a bonus | 97% |
Percentage of male employees receiving benefits in kind | 93% |
Percentage of female employees receiving benefits in kind | 89% |
Pay Quartiles: Current reporting year
Pay Quartile | Male | Female |
Upper | 85% | 15% |
Upper Middle | 66% | 32% |
Lower Middle | 71% | 29% |
Lower | 47% | 53% |
Understanding the pay gap / Addressing the gap going forward
As of the snapshot date, there were 190 full pay relevant employees, of whom 128 identified as male and 62 identified as female, making up 67% and 33% of the workforce, respectively.
The data shows that there is an under representation of females in the upper and upper middle quartiles. However, G-P has made significant progress since 2023 with representation increasing from 23% to 32%. This is a result of G-P’s intentional action to recruit and promote women into senior roles, and retain women across the workforce.
The Irish Regulations require companies to report on the ordinary pay of employees, including those on maternity leave. G-P tops up maternity leave for its employees. However, where an employee has exhausted the maternity leave payment and remains on unpaid maternity leave, G-P is still required to include that employee’s data in the months they were on unpaid leave. This means that where some employees are on unpaid maternity leave, that data is included in calculating the hourly pay, which substantially lowers the resulting figure, and in turn will impact on the overall mean gender pay figure. However, this effect would be far more pronounced if G-P did not top up maternity leave payments for its employees, so the overall effect is a positive one.
Comparing the figures to previous reports, while there has been improvements in the median figure for hourly pay, the median figure for bonus pay, and the percentage of females receiving a bonus, the mean has increased. We continue to see males earning higher salaries at the highest levels of the organization, and see a need to focus on retention of female talent, particularly at higher career levels.
There is near parity in terms of opportunity to earn a bonus between males and females. However, the mean and median bonus pay gap is in favour of males. This may be a reflection of the fact that there are more males in higher paid roles relative to females and as a result this corresponds to the amount of bonus pay that they receive. There is also near parity in terms of female and male employees who received BIKs such as dental and medical insurance, which are made available to all employees in Ireland.
There is a positive trajectory in G-P’s reports since 2023. G-P plans to continue focusing on ensuring diverse candidate slates, specifically in tech. G-P will also continue to build upon career development initiatives with an aim of preparing females for higher levels within the company, and to understand what has led to attrition with the aim of improving retention among female employees.
Our annual gender pay gap reports are accessible on the company website.

Globalization Partners Ireland Consulting Limited’s Gender Pay Gap Report (Snapshot Date: 1 June 2025)
Background
Globalization Partners Ireland Consulting Limited (“G-P Consulting”) provides an employer of record (EOR) solution for companies hiring employees in Ireland. G-P Consulting only employs individuals on behalf of G-P’s customers, who provide services to that customer (referred to as “Professionals”).
The Employment Equality Act 1998 (Section 20A) (Gender Pay Gap Information) Regulations 2025 (“the Regulations”) came into effect in May and require that employers with 50 or more employees analyse and publish data showing their gender pay gap, across certain prescribed metrics for hourly and bonus pay. Given the headcount, 2025 is the first year that G-P Consulting has been required to report its gender pay gap figures for Ireland. G-P Consulting employs individuals who work for third party organisations. Therefore, any reporting is a snapshot of employees who work across various different sectors, rather than a like-for-like comparison.
As required by the Regulations, this report discloses the median and mean (average) pay gaps between male and female’s hourly pay and bonuses, and the percentage of males and females receiving benefits in kind.
Irish businesses can choose their own snapshot date and must report data on their employee gender pay gap based on the preceding 12-month period. G-P Consulting chose 1 June 2025 as the snapshot date. Businesses are also required to distinguish between the gender pay gaps for full-time, part-time, and temporary roles.
As of the snapshot date, G-P Consulting employed 147 employees for the purposes of the Irish gender pay gap reporting regulations. Of these employees:
94 identified as male;
48 identified as female; and
5 did not disclose.
Out of the 142 employees who disclosed their gender, four are part-time workers; and G-P Consulting calculated the mean and median pay gaps based on their hourly pay separately below.

Understanding the pay gap / Addressing the gap going forward
As of the snapshot date, there were 142 relevant employees, of whom 94 identified as male and 48 identified as female, making up 66% and 34% of the workforce, respectively.
Pay for Professionals is set by the relevant customer, not by G-P Consulting. Pay philosophies and practices vary from company to company, and resulting compensation rates and structures for professionals align to that of the relevant customer, not G-P Consulting.
G-P Consulting has customers across a broad range of sectors and as such there is significant variation in market practice on each base pay and bonuses between sectors.
G-P Consulting works with customers of various business sizes and revenue generation, which means pay and pay practices may vary depending on the revenue and size of the customer.
G-P Consulting employs Professionals at all levels of seniority and experience, which means pay varies significantly.
G-P Consulting employs Professionals who are located all over Ireland and those geographical differences may be reflected in pay as determined by the relevant customer.
The combination of these factors means that differences in pay between Professionals are impacted by myriad factors. The pay gap calculations required by the Gender Pay Gap Regulations do not recognise those differences and give a distorted view of G-P Consulting’s own pay practices.
G-P Consulting will take steps to provide awareness to customers of pay equity requirements so they can be considered by the customer when setting Professional pay rates.
G-P Consulting’s annual gender pay gap reports are accessible on the company website.

Globalization Partners Ireland Gender Pay Gap Report (Snapshot date: 1 June 2024)
Background
Globalization Partners Ireland provides an Irish employer of record (EOR) solution for companies hiring employees in Ireland.
The Employment Equality Act 1998 (Section 20A) (Gender Pay Gap Information) Regulations 2022 (“the Regulations”) came into effect in 2022 and require that employers who meet the employee threshold analyse and publish data showing their gender pay gap, across certain prescribed metrics for hourly and bonus pay.
In this report, as required by the Regulations, we disclose the median and mean (average) pay gaps between male and female’s hourly pay and bonuses, and the percentage of males and females receiving benefits in kind.
Irish businesses can choose their own snapshot date and must report data on their employee gender pay gap based on the preceding 12-month period. For Globalization Partners International Ireland Limited, we chose 1 June 2024 as the snapshot date. Businesses are also required to distinguish between the gender pay gaps for full-time, part-time and temporary roles, however this report will not make such distinction as all employees on the snapshot date were employed on a full-time basis.
As of the snapshot date, we employed 216 employees for the purposes of the Irish gender pay gap reporting regulations. Of these employees:
- 147 identified as male;
- 67 identified as female; and
- 2 did not respond.

Percentage of male employees receiving a bonus | 97% |

Understanding our pay gap / Addressing the gap going forward
As of the snapshot date, there were 214 full pay relevant employees, of whom 147 identified as male and 67 identified as female, making up 69% and 31% of the workforce, respectively.
The data shows that there is an under representation of females in the upper and upper middle quartiles. This provides the potential for us to take intentional action to ensure diverse candidate slates, better enabling equal hiring and promotion of qualified women and enhancing representation across all roles.
The Irish Regulations require companies to report on the ordinary pay of employees, including those on maternity leave. Globalization Partners tops up maternity leave for its employees. However, where an employee has exhausted the maternity leave payment and remains on unpaid maternity leave, we are still required to include that employee’s data in the months they were on unpaid leave. This means that where some employees are on unpaid maternity leave, that data is included in calculating the hourly pay, which substantially lowers the resulting figure, and in turn will impact on the overall mean gender pay figure. However, this effect would be far more pronounced if Globalization-Partners did not top up maternity leave payments for its employees, so the overall effect is a positive one.
Comparing the figures to our 2023 report, while the mean gender pay gap using hourly pay has remained the same, we have seen significant improvement in the median gender pay gap using hourly pay, and the mean and median gender pay gaps using bonus pay.We have near parity in terms of opportunity to earn a bonus between males and females. However, the mean and median bonus pay gap is in favour of males. This is due to more males in higher paid roles relative to females which corresponds to the amount of bonus pay that they receive. Equal access to programs is provided, however, more females than males choose to participate in programs that result in receiving BIKs, such as dental and medical insurance, i.e. 90% of females compared to 76% of males).
To address the current gap, we will continue to focus on ensuring diverse candidate slates. We will also build upon career development initiatives with an aim of preparing females for higher levels within the Company.Our annual gender pay gap reports are accessible on our company website.

Globalization Partners International Ireland Limited’s Gender Pay Gap Report (Snapshot date: 1 June 2023)
Background
We provide an Irish employer of record (“EOR”) solution for companies hiring employees in Ireland.
The Employment Equality Act 1998 (Section 20A) (Gender Pay Gap Information) Regulations 2022 (“the Regulations”) came into effect in 2022 and require that employers with 250 or more employees analyse and publish data showing their gender pay gap, across certain prescribed metrics for hourly and bonus pay.
In this report, as required by the Regulations, we disclose the median and mean (average) pay gaps between male and female hourly pay and bonuses, and the percentage of males and females receiving benefits in kind.
Irish businesses can choose their own snapshot date and must report data on their employee gender pay gap based on the preceding 12-month period. For Globalization Partners International Ireland Limited, we chose 1 June 2023 as the snapshot date. Businesses are also required to distinguish between the gender pay gaps for full-time, part-time and temporary roles; however, this report will not make such distinction as all employees on the snapshot date were employed on a full-time basis.
As of the snapshot date, we employed 258 employees for the purposes of the Irish gender pay gap reporting regulations. Of these employees:
- 177 identified as male;
- 78 identified as female;
- 2 did not respond; and,
- 1 employee chose not to disclose their gender.
In 2022, we had less than 250 employees, and thus 2023 is the first year that we have been required to report our gender pay gap figures for Ireland.

Understanding our pay gap / Addressing the gap going forward
As of the snapshot date, there were 258 full pay relevant employees, of whom 177 identified as male and 78 identified as female, making up 69% and 31% of the workforce, respectively.
The data shows that there is an overrepresentation of females in the lower and lower-middle quartiles. This provides the potential for us to take intentional action to recruit and promote women into senior roles, and retain women across our workforce, ensuring a positive impact on the future of female representation in senior roles.
We have near parity in terms of opportunity to earn a bonus between males and females. However, the mean and median bonus pay gap is in favour of males. This may be a reflection of the fact that there are more males in higher paid roles relative to females and this may correspond to the amount of bonus pay that they receive. Broadly, the same proportion of males and females receive BIKs such as dental and medical insurance.
To address the current gap, we will focus on ensuring diverse candidate slates, specifically in tech. We will also build upon career development initiatives with an aim of preparing females for higher levels within the company.
