11 Gender Pay Gap

From 2017, an organisation that has 250 or more employees must publish, under the Equality Act 2010 (Gender Pay Gap Information) Regulations 2017, specific figures about their gender pay gap (GPG).

A gender pay gap shows the difference between the average hourly earnings of men and women, expressed as a percentage of men's earnings e.g. a gender pay of 18% indicates women earn 18% less than men.  The national average GPG is 18%.

The figures must be calculated using a specific reference date i.e. the snapshot date.  Public organisations are required to publish the GPG online by 31 March 2018 and this data must remain available for at least 3 years.

The data consists of 6 reports:

  • The mean pay gap in hourly pay
  • The median pay gap in hourly pay
  • The mean bonus pay gap
  • The median bonus pay gap
  • The proportion of male and females receiving a bonus payment.
  • The proportion of males and female employees in each salary quartile band

(Figures can be reported in whole percentages or percentages rounded to one decimal place.)

Along with the written statement an organization can add supporting narrative. Adding a narrative helps anyone reading the statement to understand the organisation’s view of why a gender pay gap is present and what the organisation intends to do to close it.

The Service is currently researching methods to produce the information in discussion with the Finance Team and the Payroll Team from Shropshire Council.  Prior to publication a report with the full detail will be taken to Fire Authority in February 2018.

To date only one Fire and Rescue Service, West Yorkshire, have published their GPG which is 12%.
