<p>The Equality Act 2010 (Specific Duties and Public Bodies) regulations introduced
mandatory gender pay gap reporting in 2017 to large public sector employers in England
and non-devolved authorities. The threshold of 250 employees was determined following
a public consultation and mirrors the requirements for employers in the private and
voluntary sectors. The employee threshold and other aspects of the reporting metrics
is under review to assess their effectiveness in exposing the causes of the pay gap
in individual organisations and employers’ progress in tackling them. We will use
this evidence to consider changes to the reporting legislation, consulting on any
proposed amendments by 2021.</p><p> </p><p>Equal pay statements are not required outside
of Scotland and the policy is therefore not subject to review by central Government.
However, in 2020 we will review the enforcement of equal pay legislation more broadly,
to ensure it is working as effectively as possible.</p>
