Gender Pay Gap
Every organisation with more than 250 employees are required to report on their gender pay gap, which is published on the gov.uk website.
Below is a summary at the snapshot date of the 5th April 2023.
Headcount Split of Women and Men
Our headcount split is 65% women and 35% men; LCW employs significantly more women than men. There is a large percentage of our workforce across services where we have a generic pay structure applicable to all staff regardless of their gender. During the snapshot date, a large proportion of the staff in scope will have been working in our services with these set hourly rates and enhancements for unsociable hours.
The time the shift is worked (with the unsociable hours enhancement) will impact on the gender pay gap if it is worked predominantly by one gender.
Hourly pay gap
Women earn £1.03 for every £1 that men earn when comparing median hourly pay. Their median hourly pay is 2.6% higher than men’s.
When comparing mean (average) hourly pay, women’s mean hourly pay is 5% lower than men’s.
The percentage of women in each pay quarter
women occupy 60.5% of the highest paid jobs and 52% of the lowest paid jobs.
