Photograph: Thomas Trutschel/Photothek via GettyWomen employees of TikTok, the social media platform owned by Chinese technology company ByteDance, earn on average 5 per cent less per hour than their male counterparts in the State. However, women employees receive slightly larger bonuses than male employees on average, according to TikTok’s gender pay gap report, published on Wednesday.
The tech company – which employed some 2,000 people at its European headquarters in Dublin at the start of the year and has announced plans to grow its headcount here to more than 3,000 – is the latest in a host of Irish-based companies to issue gender pay gap reports in recent weeks to meet an end-of-year deadline under new reporting requirements.
TikTok said that the report, the first of its kind that the social media company has produced, is “positive in terms of the lack of a material bonus gap and even distribution” across its pay scale.CEO of An Post David McRedmond joins Ciaran Hancock to discuss the ongoing row between An Post and the UK’s Post Office over the implementation of post-Brexit customs rules, which is resulting in thousands of online purchases being returned to British retailers.
On average, hourly pay for TikTok’s women employees in the State was 5 per cent lower than for its male employees. The differential compares favourably with other tech multinationals with a significant presence in Ireland, including Amazon, which recently reported average gender pay gaps of between 4.3 per cent and 19.7 per cent across its four main Irish entities.
