Background Information

The regulations specify that the data must be a snapshot of 31 March 2018, this is taken from payroll data.

All employees who are paid are included in the calculations; permanent, fixed term and casual. If a casual employee has irregular working hours then the average earnings over a 12 month period have been used.

The following are excluded from any calculations; overtime pay, redundancy or termination payments, or non-cash benefits such as those paid through salary sacrifice.

The regulations require reporting on six specific calculations and they also outline the methodology to use and what is included in each calculation. These are listed below:

1. Mean gender pay gap
2. Median gender pay gap
3. Mean bonus gender pay gap
4. Median bonus gender pay gap
5. Proportion of males receiving a bonus payment and proportion of females receiving a bonus payment
6. Proportion of males and females in each pay quartile

The College does not operate any kind of bonus scheme, so there is no requirement to report on bonus payments.
