What Is Gender Pay Gap Reporting?
Since April 2017, companies residing in England, Scotland or Wales with more than 250 employees have been legally required to publicly report on their gender pay gap figures each year. This reporting requirement was implemented to highlight discrepancies in gender pay, and create the pressure needed to work towards closing any gaps.
Public sector companies need to publish their reports by 30 March each year, and companies within the private or voluntary sectors need to publish theirs by 4 April each year.
Candidates may wish to review gender pay gap reporting for prospective new employers as part of their decision-making process when considering a new role.
