A call for a feedback to the Government Equalities Office on employers showing the pay gap between their male and female employees.

From April 2017, Gender Pay Gap reporting regulations will require all employers with 250 or more employees to publish statutory calculations every year showing the pay gap between their male and female employees. These results must be published on the employer’s own website and the government site.

The Government Equalities Office is keen to get feedback from those who will be reporting so that we can design the service to be as useful and as user friendly as possible.

We are on the hunt for HR and Payroll professionals who will help us to improve the government Gender Pay Gap Reporting online service, either by answering questions in an an online survey and/or by attending workshops we are holding in London. Ideally, we want to talk to staff directly involved with gathering their organisation’s data, making calculations, and publishing/reporting the final figures.

Please contact any of us if you be interested in participating in a workshop or a 1-2-1 session.

Our email addresses are:

priya.srikantharajah@cadencepartnership.com,craig.elliott@cadencepartnership.com or tom.marriage@cadencepartnership.com. 

Alternatively, the online survey covers the very start of the gender pay gap reporting process and previews some of the GOV.UK guidance that will be available. It takes about twenty minutes to complete (and that’s mostly because of the length of the guidance).

Closure date for the survey is: Friday 24 March 2017

Your input will help us make the guidance and reporting service clearer and more helpful for all employers. We really will be very grateful for your help and feedback.
