Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:
To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, with reference to the transparency document entitled Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy: Gender Pay Gap Report 2017, if he will set out the pay gap data for median, mean and bonus pay by (a) grade, (b) profession and (c) and whether the staff to whom that data applies are from (i) the core department or (ii) arms-length bodies.
The median and mean pay gap by grade for core BEIS, under the methodology used for gender pay gap reporting, are:
Grade | Mean Pay Gap | Median Pay Gap |
AA/AO | 0.6% | 0.0% |
EO | 3.5% | 1.5% |
HEO/SEO | 3.6% | 4.0% |
G7/6 | 2.9% | 3.1% |
SCS | 10.9% | 3.5% |
Grade | Mean Bonus Gap | Median Bonus Gap |
AA/AO | -8.6% | -6.9% |
EO | -13.7% | -16.4% |
HEO/SEO | 8.5% | 3.8% |
G7/6 | -0.8% | 0.8% |
SCS | -1.3% | 0.0% |
The Department does not hold any data on the pay gap, if any, by profession.
It should be noted that the methodology used for Gender Pay Gap reporting differs from that used for considering Equal Pay cases. In addition the figures above do not compare staff doing the same or similar weighted work.
