The first gender pay gap reporting deadline is only three weeks away

08 March 2018

The date is fast approaching when thousands of employers should, by law, have reported and published their Gender Pay Gap figures.

All private and voluntary sector employers with 250 or more employees in England, Wales and Scotland must publish information on their gender pay gap under the Equality Act 2010 (Gender Pay Gap Information) Regulations 2017.

All listed public sector employers with 250 or more employees in England must publish the same information under the Equality Act 2010 (Specific Duties and Public Authorities) Regulations 2017. (Scottish and Welsh public authorities are already subject to regulations that include gender pay gap reporting).

Private and voluntary sector employers must report the required pay gap information by 4 April 2018. Public sector employers in England must publish the required information by 30 March 2018. All employers covered by the GPG Regulations must then respectively report by 30 March and 4 April in following years.

To date, less than 2,000 employers have published their data on the government’s GPG reporting service and the expectation is that around 9,000 employers are required to.
