Haskins Gender Pay Gap Reporting

 

Last updated: 05/03/25

This report sets out the Gender Pay Gap reporting as required by The Equality Act 2010.

It is important to note that the Gender Pay Gap is different from equal pay. Equal pay refers to men and women receiving equal pay for the same jobs or similar jobs of equal value.

The Gender Pay Gap shows the difference between the average hourly earnings of men and women across a company regardless of their roles. The outcomes can be affected by a range of factors including ratio of men to women in the workforce and the number of full time versus part time men and women.
