Gender pay gap reporting – explaining your data 24 May 2017

Nine companies have published their data so far on the new gender pay gap viewing service.

Under the new gender pay gap regulations thousands of employers are now required to publish their gender pay gap figures for the first time. The new facility where employers must upload their gender pay gap information is now available for public observation - gender pay gap viewing service

Only nine companies have published their data so far but employers do have until March/April 2018 (depending on whether they are public, private or voluntary sector) to do this so the number will continue to grow.

There is some interesting reading in the written statements on the viewing service already so worth a read if you are curious about how other companies are explaining their figures.

An excerpt from the company Contractor Umbrella Ltd. explains why their figures may “ distort the projection” that the Government Equalities Office is looking to achieve:

“ContractorUmbrella is an employer to UK tax-based contractors. As the contractors are legally classified as our employees, we are required include their details within our Gender Pay Gap Reporting. However, it is worth noting that the arrangement that a compliant umbrella company operate for tax and employment purposes means that every contractor is paid a basic wage of the National Living Wage plus a bonus to make the figure up to the daily or hour rate agreed for their services. As such our figures may distort the projection that the Government Equalities Office were looking to achieve.
