Are you working on your narrative for your gender pay gap report? 8 March 2018

Do you have your gender pay gap results ready but need some inspiration to put together your ‘story’ for your written statement? The CIPP has a webinar which is free to members which aims to help you help you write a positive, qualitative narrative to support your organisation’s results.

The CIPP and CIPD have worked together to produce this webinar which is available to all CIPP and CIPD members free of charge. It covers six key areas:

• What does your data tell you? • Why is there a gap? • How will you address the gap? • If you are unable to address the gap due to mitigating circumstances, what is the rationale?

• When will you address the gap? • How will you measure progress?

Gender Pay Gap Reporting - the first year through the lens of the payroll industry 27 March 2018 As we near the finishing line for the first deadline dates for reporting gender pay gap figures, research from the CIPP policy team discusses the experience to date of employers, specifically from the perspective of the Payroll Professional who serves the reporting employer. The aim of our research was to uncover how the first of reposting gender pay gap results has delivered and look at the positives, the negatives and the lessons learned which for some will provide for a smoother process in the second year. Payroll Professionals experience the demands of GPG reporting from a number of different stand points, namely but not exclusively: software development; in-house payroll professional; specialist payroll bureaux; accountants, bookkeepers; training and education; technical author.

Our focus was to include employers who have a mandatory obligation to report but also to those employers who have reported their gender pay gaps on a voluntary basis or are considering doing so.

In every area of payroll work there are consequences delivered in the form of one enforcement agency or another, so enforcement proposals from the Equality and Human Right Commission in their consultation paper, together with the fears and concerns of professionals (real or imagined) of the consequences of getting it wrong, also feature in our research.

Some of the findings from our research include:
