Legal Terms - gender pay gap
The disparity in average pay between male and female employees within a specific workforce or organization. Since 2017, the government mandates that firms with over 250 employees report on gender pay disparities, utilizing payroll data collected on a specified date each year (Equality Act 2010 (Gender Pay Gap Information) Regulations 2017). The "snapshot date" is 5 April for the private and voluntary sectors and 31 March for state entities. The release of this data has prompted assertions that women face considerable disadvantages in the workplace, as trends indicate that male employees earn higher salaries than their female counterparts for equivalent or comparable roles in more than half of all sectors.
