It was rumoured that many companies would use International Women’s Day as the day to publish their gender pay gap figures. At the time of publishing this news item less than a fifth of the anticipated 9,000 employers have uploaded their results. We will be checking the government’s GPG reporting service later today to see if this rumour rings true.

The first gender pay gap reporting deadline only 3 weeks away 8 March 2018
The date is fast approaching when thousands of employers should, by law, have reported and published their Gender Pay Gap figures.
All private and voluntary sector employers with 250 or more employees in England, Wales and Scotland must publish information on their gender pay gap under the Equality Act 2010 (Gender Pay Gap Information) Regulations 2017.
All listed public sector employers with 250 or more employees in England must publish the same information under the Equality Act 2010 (Specific Duties and Public Authorities) Regulations 2017. ( Scottish and Welsh public authorities are already subject to regulations that include gender pay gap reporting). Private and voluntary sector employers must report the required pay gap information by 4 April 2018. Public sector employers in England must publish the required information by 30 March 2018. All employers covered by the GPG Regulations must then respectively report by 30 March and 4 April in following years.
To date less than 2,000 employers have published their data on the government’s GPG reporting service and the expectation is that around 9,000 employers are required to.
If you haven’t yet started work on this requirement, Acas has guidance on how to make your calculations, where to publish, and what to do to tackle your gender pay gap.

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?
