Equal Pay
Equal Pay
Did you know…
Equal pay is not the same as the gender pay gap, and a negative gap (one in favour of women) is not necessarily a good thing!
The Equal Pay Act 1970 gives a woman the right to be paid the same as a man for doing the same work. However, if a man wants to claim the same rights he would probably need to take out a sex discrimination claim.
Also, equal pay applies to all contractual forms of remuneration but the Gender Pay Gap applies to a limited number of pay elements.
We can help you understand the differences and educate your organisation to make better pay decisions.
Where do we start?
We can help you with collating and understanding the data you need to report and ensuring that you have the calculations correct.
What will it mean?
Of course, the GPG statistics are just the tip of the iceberg. A low mean or median GPG figure does not mean you have no risk of equal pay issues, nor does a high figure mean that your pay is automatically unfair. An equal pay assessment will help you understand what your risks are and where you need to focus your efforts to resolve them.
Legal Privilege Adds Authority.
Combine Gender Pay Gap and Equal Pay Assessments, add in the possibility of a legally privileged review by a specialist employment lawyer, and your report to your board has all the authority it needs. Legal privilege carries not only the weight to help you get your Board’s attention, but the protection that you will not be required to divulge our findings at a later date.
