More men in senior roles means women earn less on an hourly basis, while Tesco and Brown Thomas also have wide bonus gaps via IrishTimesBiz
Aldi Ireland said its gender pay gap was in line with the European average of 13 per cent, as measured by EU statistics body Eurostat, but that it was also aware that, like others, it had “more work to do”.
“This challenge is not unique to Aldi and is a common issue within the retail sector. There is no quick fix; it will take time. But we as an organisation are absolutely committed to addressing this issue and closing our gender pay gap in the years ahead.” Brown Thomas Arnotts, meanwhile, reported that women on average earn 10.6 per cent less, based on hourly earnings, than men.
It said this was mainly due to more women than men being in part-time positions as well as male executives receiving incentive payments “in line with their responsibilities as part of an international retail group”. The retailer has been owned since August by Thailand’s Central Group and Austrian real estate company Signa Group.
