Nursery World - Nursery groups must report on gender pay gap

All employers with 250 or more employees will now be required by law to publish figures on the gender pay gap.

The rule, which came into force on 5 April, applies to all private, voluntary and public sector employers, and is likley to affect most medium and large nursery groups.

According to the Government the regulations will cover around 9,000 employers with more than 15 million employees, nearly half of the UK’s workforce. The rules will be enforced by the Equality and Human Rights Commission. The Government says that the UK is one of the first countries to require companies to report on the gender pay gap.

All employers with 250 employees or more will be required to publish information relating to pay, regardless of the make-up or duration of employment of the workforce.
