Report the gap. Explain it or fix it.
Employers above the thresholds report defined gap metrics. If a gap cannot be justified, the next step is a joint pay assessment.
- The gender pay gap, mean and median.
- The gap in variable and complementary components, mean and median.
- The share of women and men receiving variable components.
- The share of women and men in each pay quartile.
- The gap by category of workers, broken down by base pay and variable components.
A joint pay assessment with worker representatives is required when three conditions hold: the gap in any category of workers is at least 5%, it is not justified by objective, gender-neutral criteria, and it has not been remedied within six months of the report.
See how an unadjusted gap breaks down into explained parts and what remains.
