Gender pay gap reporting requires employers with 250 or more employees to publish statutory calculations each year showing the pay gap between male and female employees. The gender pay gap is the difference between the average pay (expressed as both the mean and median) of men and women expressed as a percentage and should not be confused with equal pay.
On 31st March 2021 City College employed 301 people and is therefore in the category of organisations which are required by the UK Government to publish details of their gender pay gap, specifically the difference in average female earnings compared to average male earnings. The College employs substantially more women (61%) than men (39%).
The College’s overall mean[1] gender pay gap at this date was that men earn 5.28% more than women, which is significantly smaller than the national gender pay gap reported as 15.4% in March 2021. The College’s median[2] pay gap is a very similar figure at 7.53%.
The mean gender pay gap does vary by role type:
Our overall median pay gap is 7.53%. The median hourly rate for females last year was £13.22 and the male was £14.03 - a difference of 81p. This year with the figures are £13.14 for females and £14.21 for males – a difference of £1.07. So while there has been an increase in both male and female hourly rates, the gap between the median rates has increase by 26p.
Whilst some roles have traditionally attracted more male applicants (for example, construction and engineering teachers) or female applicants (for example, administrative support), we are working to attract a more diverse range of applicants across roles.
