Gender Pay Gap Reporting
What is Gender Pay Gap? • Gender Pay Gap is the difference between the aggregate hourly pay for men and women across a whole organisation • It is NOT the same as equal pay (difference between pay for men and women carrying out the same or similar jobs) • Organisations that have a higher level of men in senior jobs and women in junior roles are more likely to have a gender pay gap
What needs to be published? Compulsory: • Difference between the average hourly pay rate for men and women expressed as a % (mean and median) • Gender bonus gap (mean and median). Clinical Excellence Awards all in this category. • Proportions of men and women receiving a bonus (if applicable) • Proportions of men and women working at each quartile of the organisation’s pay distribution – lowest to highest pay split into 4 quartiles • A written statement confirming the calculations are correct (signed by a Director/Chief Executive), explaining reasons for the gap and our Action Plan
Benefits of getting it right? • Better financial performance • Employer of choice = competitive advantage • Improved employee engagement • Higher levels of discretionary effort • Improved employee retention and succession planning • Attract and retain talent • More diverse workforce
Data Assumptions • Currently the data is before salary sacrifice although guidance is after which is not logical at face value • Includes bank only but excludes substantive and bank because pay could be classed as overtime. NHS Employers state for employees under a contract of employment so may need to exclude these. • Excluded – career break, honorary, inactive not worked, maternity and adoption, new starter, no pay, placement students, suspend no pay, any employees not in receipt of full pay eg sick/maternity • Bonus payments – currently only CEA. Do we need to include R and R as a bonus?

Next Steps • Further review our data so far, really understanding what it’s telling us. • Benchmark against other organisations (NHS when available) • Engage with Staff Side on results and actions. • Develop an Action Plan to reduce gap / understand what will make a difference? i.e. recruitment, starting salary and pay and flexible working strategies
