Gender Pay Report 2022
/New regulations were introduced in 2017 (Equality Act 2010 -Gender Pay Gap Information) which mean that employers are required to report on a number of different statistical measures of gender pay on the snapshot date of 5th April each year for non-public sector employers with more than 250 employees and agency workers.
The gender pay gap is a high-level snapshot of pay in an organisation that shows the difference in average pay between men and women.
The information below shows the median and mean gender pay gap and bonus pay gap for A24Group Limited based on hourly rates of pay as at the snapshot date of 5 April 2022, and bonuses paid in the year to 5 April 2022.
Mean
The regulations require us to report the difference between the mean hourly rate of men compared to the mean hourly rate of women, expressed as a percentage of the men’s figure.
Our mean women’s hourly pay is 13.4% higher than the mean men’s hourly pay.
Median
The regulations require us to report the difference between the median hourly rate for men compared to the median hourly rate for women, expressed as a percentage of the men’s figure. So, this will be the middle value of a list of numbers for each gender.
Our median women’s hourly pay is 6.05% higher than men’s hourly pay
Pay quartiles
All rates of pay are placed into a list in order of value and the list is divided into four equal sections (quartiles). Each quartile will contain the same number of individuals. The regulations require us to report how many men and how many women are in each pay quartile, expressed as a percentage within each quartile.
| Women | Men | |
|---|---|---|
| Top Quartile | 79% | 21% |
| Upper Middle Quartile | 56% | 44% |
| Lower Middle Quartile | 57% | 43% |
| Lower Quartile | 64% | 36% |
Bonus
The regulations also require us to publish the same measures as above on bonus (including commission) payments.
Our figures:
What percentage of men and women who received a bonus:
Male 2.09%
Female 1.85%
Women’s mean bonus pay is 6.41% higher than men’s
Women’s median bonus pay is 15.38% higher than men’s
On the snapshot date 64% of our staff were female. The above percentages would appear to reflect the preponderance of female workers in our industry (NMC reports only 11 % of registered nurses in the UK were male (source-The NMC register 2018). These statistics mean that as a recruitment agency placing healthcare workers on an equal opportunity basis, we are unable to have a significant impact on closing gender pay gaps.
We can confirm however that male and female employees are paid equally for doing equivalent jobs.
