Will CEO pay ratio reporting change Fat Cat Friday timeline? 4 January 2019
The average FTSE 100 CEO only needs to work until 1pm today (Friday 4 January 2019) to earn the same amount as the average full-time worker in the UK.
Chief executives of leading UK companies are paid 133 times more than the average worker, new research for "Fat Cat Friday" reveals.
According to the latest CIPD/High Pay Centre analysis, the average FTSE 100 CEO is paid £1,020 per hour and £3.926 million a year, an increase of 11% on the previous year.
The average (median) full-time worker in the UK earns a gross annual salary of £29,574. “Fat Cat” Friday recognises that in 2019 the average FTSE 100 CEO, on an average (median) pay packet of £3.9 million, only needs to work until 1pm today (Friday 4 January 2019) to earn the same amount. To help combat this pay gap, The Companies (Miscellaneous Reporting) Regulations 2018 come into force on 1 January 2019 and will require listed companies with more than 250 employees to report their CEO/worker ratios along with other employee engagement information.
The actual reporting of CEO pay ratios is expected to start in 2020.
The CIPP policy team has produced a short webcast which provides an overview of the CEO pay ratio reporting requirements.

The Companies (Directors’ Remuneration Policy and Directors’ Remuneration Report) Regulations 2019 11 June 2019
These Regulations come into force today, 10 June 2019 and implement a requirement in certain companies that the remuneration of the Chief Executive Officer and any Deputy Chief Executive Officer must be reported even if they are not a director on the board of the company.
Previously under UK law, only the remuneration of the directors on the board were required to be reported.
The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, Kelly Tolhurst said of the draft regulations that they bring in a number of very small but important enhancements to the UK’s well-established statutory framework for the reporting of directors’ remuneration at public companies. In particular, by enabling greater transparency in how company share awards can be exercised by directors, and in how boardroom pay relates to the rest of the company, shareholders will have increased scope to access information on whether pay at the top is appropriate and aligned with the company’s long-term success. In doing so, the draft regulations will complement and build on the important new measures on executive pay that were approved by Parliament last year (CEO pay ratio reporting – came into force January 2019 with actual reporting of CEO pay ratios expected to start in 2020).
