<p>100% of employers believed to be in scope of the regulations reported their figures
by August 2018.</p><p> </p><p>It is an employer’s legal responsibility to ensure that
they report on time and that their figures are accurate. The vast majority of the
over 10,500 that reported last year have completed the calculations correctly. In
2018, the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) commenced enforcement action
against 100 employers suspected of publishing inaccurate gender pay gap figures.</p><p>
</p><p>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><p> </p><p>Employers have until 30 March, for
the public sector, and 4 April, for the private and voluntary sector, to submit their
data for the second year. The data for the 2018-19 reporting year will be reviewed
once the deadline has passed.</p>
