Confused.com Gender Pay Gap 2022
Gender Pay Gap is a government reporting requirement. The UK Government explains Gender Pay Gap as the difference in the average hourly wage of all men and all women across a workforce. This means that we take all salaries together, by gender, and create metrics based on these results. The two key metrics we report on are ‘mean’ and ‘median’ (see below for more detail on these metrics).
We look at the pay of all men and women in our organisation on 5 April each year - (this is the annual date we are required to report on under the government legislation).
Mean pay gap: The mean gender pay gap figure is assessed by including the hourly pay of all full-pay relevant employees to calculate the difference between the mean (average) hourly pay of men, and the mean (average) hourly pay of women.
Median pay gap: The median pay gap is the difference between the hourly pay of the median full-pay relevant men and the hourly pay of the median full-pay relevant woman. The median is the number that falls in the middle of a range when employees' salaries are grouped from smallest to largest.
Hourly pay gap: As of 5 April 2022, Confused.com had 285 relevant employees in which 106 were women and 179 were male employees. Within the 285 employees, 276 employees were included in the full pay relevant calculations i.e. 97 female and 179 male employees (9 employees were on reduced pay due to long term leave, i.e. maternity, sickness, sabbatical leave, etc). The data from this group of people provides our mean and median Gender Pay Gap results, as below:
