Supporting Statement
As an outsourced payroll provider, we work across many sectors and vast experience ranges.
This essentially means that this gender pay gap reporting covers a wide range of roles, skill sets and ages for both male and female workers. Agencies look at a comparable rate of pay for the role, rather than the worker, then uplift accordingly for umbrella payroll.
We, therefore, feel that this report will not be effective in showing the gender differences in pay between men and women and should not be relied upon to provide any clear comparisons.
For example, we could have a female teaching assistant versus a male fully qualitied lighting technician working away from home or a male cleaning operative compared to a female high level IT executive. Because of the diversity of the workers employed, unlike a regular employer comparing workers within the same sector, it is not a like for like comparison.
If there is a Gender Pay Gap, between male and female contract workers, there cannot be any effective measures taken as the roles are not representative. However, this report is accurate based on the agency pay rates.
Aside from the payroll services we provide to contract workers, working on temporary assignments through agencies, within our own internal office staff there is no Gender Pay Gap between men and women. Roles have specific pay grades and this is irrelevant of gender, it is more about experience and time with the business. We are a female orientated office with a very high percentage of female Managers.
