answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/03/2021 answer text <p>Publication of HMRC’s next Equal Pay Audit was delayed from its originally scheduled publication date of 2019 while the department was working with trade unions last year to negotiate a set of reforms to its pay and working arrangements. The department took the decision to delay publication as this programme of work and the changes proposed to its pay system were likely to have a significant impact on the report’s results. Following agreement by HMRC union members of a final pay and contract offer put forward at a members’ ballot in January 2021, HMRC are now in the process of implementing these workforce reforms and HMRC expect to publish their next Equal Pay Audit before the end of 2021.</p><p> </p><p>HMRC have continued to meet their statutory obligations under the Equality Act 2010 and in January 2021 also published equality objectives until 2024 that describe HMRC’s commitment to equality, diversity and inclusion: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/hmrc-equality-objectives-2020-to-2024" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/hmrc-equality-objectives-2020-to-2024</a>. HMRC have embedded pay gap reduction actions into the work already being undertaken to review and improve policies and processes, and HMRC’s analyses show that they reduced their gender pay gap (ordinary and bonus) from 2019 to 2020. HMRC continue to take an evidence-based approach, using quantitative and qualitative insight to inform action taken.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 09/03/2021 14:17:05 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman
