Technical guide to GPG reporting: Which employees to include

Establish a flawless foundation for your Gender Pay Gap (GPG) reporting

Accurate GPG reporting begins with a precise definition of your workforce. This technical guide, developed by Brightmine experts, empowers you to define your dataset with certainty, ensuring no manual research is required to verify your headcount methodology.

• Clarify the threshold: Understand why the 250-employee limit refers to total headcount, not Full-Time Equivalent (FTE), and how to account for fluctuating numbers.
• Navigate complexities: Apply leading practices to categorise zero-hours workers, apprentices, and job-share arrangements correctly.
• Reduce risk: Mitigate the risk of non-compliance by correctly identifying which employees must be excluded from hourly pay calculations versus bonus pay calculations.

Are you correctly distinguishing between “full-pay relevant employees” and “relevant employees”?

Failing to separate these groups correctly can distort your mean and median figures. This guide provides the granular detail needed to handle employees on leave, ensuring your data accurately reflects your organisation’s position.
