Acas and the Government Equalities Office have launched new guidance to help large organisations in the private and voluntary sectors comply with the gender pay gap reporting regulations, which come into force in April. Guidance on how to carry out gender pay reporting is provided within a framework of five key steps set out on pages 5 to 21:
1. Extract the essential information
2. The calculations
3. Make a supporting statement
4. Publishing gender pay information
5. Implement plans to manage the gender pay gap
Guidance on understanding the key terms can be found on pages 21 to 29 and essential considerations for reducing the gender pay gap are described on pages 29 to 33. Acas is also providing a new ‘Gender pay reporting notification template’ in Word format.
The aim of this update is to provide summary information and comment on the subject areas covered. In particular, where employment tribunal and appellate court cases are reported, the information does not set out all of the facts, the legal arguments presented by the parties and the judgments made in every aspect of the case.

Specialist legal advice must be taken on any legal issues that may arise before embarking upon any formal course of action.
