To receive the Gender Pay Gap report.

The Board considered a report setting out information relating to the Council’s gender pay gap, which measures the difference between men and women’s average earnings across the Council. 

Sarah Swindley, Lead Specialist HR, introduced the report and highlighted that the Council’s workforce was made up of 74% female and 26% male employees.  As the Council offered a large number of part time opportunities, most of which were lower grade roles, this leads to a gender pay gap of 15.23%.

Sarah advised that work would be undertaken by the Employment Equality Working Group to see what actions could be taken to lower this figure. 

RESOLVED:  That the Gender Pay Gap report that will be published before 31 March 2020 be noted.
