Gender pay gap in Lancaster: 10 companies failing to close the gap including Lancaster City Council and Lancaster University

April 4 was the deadline for employers across Great Britain to submit their 2022/23 gender pay gap reports to the UK government. Returns from more than 10,000 companies and organisations across the country show four out of five (79.4%) still pay men more than women on average.

The results also reveal gender pay gaps remain at many employers in Lancaster such as Lancaster City Council, Lancaster & Morecambe College and Lancaster University.

Only workplaces with 250 or more employees have to submit a gender pay gap report. The gap is calculated as the difference between median hourly earnings of men and women, as a proportion of men’s earnings. It excludes overtime and bonuses.

Not every employer failed to close the gender pay gap last year. The figures show more than 800 across Great Britain reported no gender pay gap, representing 7.9% of employers. More than 1,300 (12.7% of employers) across Great Britain were also found to be paying women more on average than men.

In Lancaster, FGH Security at White Cross Business Park paid women more with women’s median hourly pay 7.8% higher than men's.
