Home Office gender pay gap report 2024

Product Description

Organisations with 250 or more employees are required to report annually on their gender pay gap. Government Departments are covered by the Equality Act 2010 (Specific Duties and Public Authorities) Regulations 2017. These regulations underpin the Public Sector Equality Duty and require relevant organisations to annually publish their gender pay gap.

The gender pay gap is different to equal pay. The gender pay gap shows the difference in the average pay between all men and women in a workforce and the reporting requirements specify the calculations to include in the report. Equal pay deals with the pay differences between men and women who carry out the same jobs, similar jobs, or work of equal value. A gender pay gap does not equate to the existence of an equal pay problem but may be the trigger for investigating why the gap exists. If an organisation has a particularly high gender pay gap, this can indicate there may be a number of issues to deal with, and the individual calculations may help to identify what those issues are.
