Friend of the Elderly (the Charity) is required by law to carry out gender pay reporting under the Equality Act 2010 (Gender Pay Gap Information) Regulations 2017.
The gender pay gap differs from equal pay. Equal pay deals with the pay differences between men and women who carry out the same jobs, similar jobs or work of equal value. It is unlawful to pay people unequally because they are a man or a woman.
The gender pay gap shows the differences in the average pay between men and women. Our reports show the difference between the average earnings of men and women in our organisation and indicate that issues to deal with, and the individual calculations may help to identify what those issues are.
