Gender Pay Gap

The Equality Act 2010 (Specific Duties and Public Authorities) Regulations 2017, require ‘specified public authorities’ including multi academy trusts with 250 or more employees to report and publish gender pay gap information. This sets out statutory calculations every year showing how large the pay gap is between their male and female employees.

Pontefract Academies Trust (“the Trust”) is legal employer for more than 250 employees. This means that it has been required to publish its gender pay information annually from 31 March 2018.

Trade Union Facility Time

Publication of pay

The Trust must publish on its website in a separate readily accessible form the number of employees whose benefits exceeded £100,000, in £10,000 bandings, for the previous year ended 31 August. Benefits for this purpose include salary, employers’ pension contributions, other taxable benefits and termination payments. Where the academy trust has entered into an off-payroll arrangement with someone who is not an employee, the amount paid by the trust for that person’s work for the trust must also be included in the website disclosure where payment exceeds £100,000 as if they were an employee.
