By April 2018, companies with over 250 employees will need to publish their gender pay gap.
Approximately 9,000 companies will need to do this, via the government website – https://www.gov.uk/report-gender-pay-gap-data
The gender pay gap is the difference in average hourly earnings, and is calculated on a 1% sample of employees’ jobs. It takes the median average for men and women, which is the level of pay that half of people earn more than, and half earn less than.
The pay gap isn’t the same as equal pay. Equal pay – that men and women doing the same job should be paid the same – has been a legal requirement for 47 years.
A company might have a gender pay gap if a majority of men are in top jobs, despite paying male and female employees the same amount for similar roles.
Public, private and voluntary sector firms are now all required to disclose average pay for men and women, including bonuses.
Employers also have the option to include a narrative with their calculations. This would explain the reasons for the results, and give details about actions they are taking to tackle the gender pay gap.

People are going to be off sick from time to time. Most employees feel bad about letting down their colleagues and most employers are reasonably sympathetic about their staff’s welfare.
But absence because of sickness, or another unexpected reason, can put your business in a tricky situation, particularly if you have no policies in place for dealing with it.
