Under the draft Equality Act 2010 (Gender Pay Gap Information) Regulations 2016, annual reporting on the gap in pay between male and female workers is to become compulsory for private and voluntary sector employers with 250 or more employees.
The Regulations were originally scheduled to come into force on 1 October 2016, but their implementation has been delayed. The final draft Regulations will now be laid before Parliament this autumn with a planned implementation date of April 2017. As things stand, employers will be required to report on pay differences using data from a specific pay period that contains the relevant date, which is every 30 April from 2017 onwards. Employers will then have 12 months beginning with the relevant date in which to publish the information.
If you would like assistance with carrying out a review of the pay and conditions of your workforce to check that these are fully compliant with equal pay legislation, contact our employment team on Sydney Mitchell 0121 746 3300.
