How to report on the Gender Pay Gap

The gender pay gap is the difference in the average hourly wage of men and women across a workforce.

The Gender Pay Gap Information Act 2021 requires organisations to report on their hourly gender pay gap across a range of metrics.

From 2022, organisations with over 250 employees began reporting on their Gender Pay Gap. From 2024 organisations with over 150 employees began reporting on their Gender Pay Gap.

Now, organisations with over 50 employees are being asked to report on their Gender Pay Gap for the first time in 2025.

The Regulations which set out the detail on how these calculations will be made are published at the link below:

• The Employment Equality Act 1998 (section 20A)(Gender Pay Gap Information) Regulations 2022
• The Employment Equality Act 1998 (section 20A)(Gender Pay Gap Information)(Amendment) Regulations 2024

These Regulations have been updated to reflect the reporting obligations of organisations with over 50 employees. A link for these Regulations will be available here upon their publication.
