Summary
The pay data above is taken from a snapshot date of the 5th of April 2023 and the bonus data is taken over the 12 months from 6th May 2022 to 5th April 2023. The differences in pay are derived from the different working roles within the organisation which are required by our clients, our business also has a higher proportion of female senior staff, hence the percentage differences in pay and bonus.
As a business we take every care that there is zero discrimination and we are fully compliant in all the legislation that set out before us. We are an equal opportunities employer which our clients are made aware of.
Our next report will be due on or before the 4th of April 2025.
