Gender pay gap reporting

This information is provided in compliance with the Gender Pay Gap Reporting Duty, Equality Act 2010 Gender Pay Gap Information Regulations 2017, S1 2017/172.

Pay at the Council

The data shows that at Hackney Council, women are paid 3.9% more than men on average and earn 5.6% more when using the median hourly rate to measure.

Mean is the average hourly rate of pay, calculated by adding the hourly pay rate for employees then dividing by the number of employees.

Median is the middle hourly pay rate, when you arrange your pay rates in order from lowest to highest.

The mean is potentially more reliable. It provides a precise value (that is, a salary on Hackney’s pay scales) and because outliers will not skew the data. Outliers refers to unusually high or low salaries that do not represent the workforce generally.

The Gender Pay Gap report went to Full Council on 24 January 2023:
