Pay Policy Statement 2024-2025
The Council is required to report its gender pay gap figures annually and for the year ending March 2022 its mean gender pay gap is now negative 3.38% (20/21 was 0.45%). The median gender pay gap is also negative 11% (20/21 was 0%). The information and data provided is for the snapshot of March 31, 2022, as per the regulations.
The gender pay gap shows the difference of pay for men and women across the organisation. This differs from equal pay, which is the difference in pay of men and women in roles of equal value.
At negative 3.38% the authority's mean gender pay gap is significantly lower than the whole economy according to Office for National Statistics (ONS). For the whole economy it is 8.3%
At negative 11%, the authority's median gender pay gap is significantly lower than for the whole economy. For the whole economy it is 14.9%
The statistics show that due to this change, the midpoint hourly rate for both men and women is no longer equal with women earning 11% more than men.
