<p>Organisations with 250 or more employees are required to report their gender pay
gap data by 30<sup>th</sup> March, for those in the public sector, or 4<sup>th</sup>
April, in the private sector.</p><p>It is an employer’s legal responsibility to ensure
that they report on time and that their figures are accurate. Detailed guidance is
available on the Acas website and GOV.UK to help employers with their calculations.</p><p>The
Equality and Human Rights Commission has the power to take enforcement action against
employers that breach the regulations.</p><p>In 2018, the EHRC commenced enforcement
action against 100 employers suspected of publishing inaccurate figures. The EHRC
enforcement found that they were a result of errors, rather than a deliberate attempt
to mislead. They have worked closely with employers to identify and correct errors;
all of whom have now either verified their figures or identified and corrected calculation
errors.</p>
