The purpose of this reporting is to achieve greater gender equality across the UK and increase pay transparency.
In Hillingdon, we are committed to the principle of equal pay for all employees by ensuring that we meet the requirements of the Equality Act 2010.
To achieve this, Hillingdon uses a nationally recognised job evaluation scheme, harmonises its contracts in line with national pay structures and pays salaries according to band with incremental annual progression, irrespective of gender.
Although the gender pay gap is low and compares favourably with the national average, the council recognises that its scope to act is limited in some areas, for example where it has no control over individual's choice to favour some roles over others which can be influenced by societal norms.
The council will continue to monitor the equality profile of its employees and take appropriate action where necessary.
