The Equality Act 2010 (Gender Pay Gap Information) Regulations 2017 (SI 2017/172) brought into effect a requirement for large employers to report publicly every year on the differences in the aggregate pay and bonuses of men and women. The Regulations mandate how private-sector and voluntary-sector organisations in England, Scotland and Wales with 250 or more employees must calculate a standard set of key metrics on their gender pay and gender bonus gaps and the format and medium in which they must report them.
