GUEST - Tony Healy - Labour Consultant

Listed and state-owned companies will, in the future, have to disclose the pay gap between the highest and lowest-paid as well as the average and median pay of all employees, according to amendments to the Companies Act, which have been introduced into Parliament.

This is in addition to the disclosure of director pay, which is already a standing requirement of the act.

The committee will hold public hearings on the proposed changes in October.
