Gender Pay Gap Reporting
The gender pay gap reporting deadline of 4 April 2018 is looming, yet the vast majority of employers are still to publish their report.
The gender pay gap reporting deadline of 4 April 2018 is looming, yet the vast majority of employers are still to publish their report.
The regulations require organisations with more than 250 employees to publish:
Employers must publish their gender pay gap report on their website, and upload the information to GOV.UK. Those who have not yet registered on the site may want to consider doing so now (even if they publish their report later, by 4 April) as we understand that the Government Equalities Office are considering "naming and shaming" those who have not yet registered, even before the deadline for reporting passes. The information is then available to the public (and, indeed, staff members) online here.
Many employers may be waiting to see their competitors' reports. We recommend companies ensure they have a clear narrative, to give context to the figures, explain the steps being taken to address the issue and help pre-empt queries from staff and clients/customers alike.
