Despite over 30 years of equal pay legislation, there remains a significant gender pay gap in the UK. It is estimated that between 25–50% of the national pay gap is attributable to men and women being paid differently when they are performing “equal work”.
Failure to comply with the legislation can lead to litigation which can be costly, time consuming and damaging for the image of your organisation both internally and externally.
A wide range of high profile initiatives have focused on supporting organisations striving to address the gender pay gap. The most common thread is the emphasis on the use of Equal Pay Reviews and the need for pay systems to be transparent.
