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.

(Benefits for this purpose include salary, other taxable benefits and termination payments, but not the trust’s own pension costs).
