Gender Pay Gap Reporting - Background

The gender pay gap shows the difference in the average pay between all men and women in a workforce. The gender pay gap is different to 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.
