Ethnicity pay gap reporting

Following the introduction of the mandatory requirement for private and public sector organisations to calculate and publish a gender pay gap report, there have been calls for pay transparency to be extended to others areas affected by inequality and a lack of diversity.

The Conservative Party’s election manifesto contained a commitment to introduce mandatory ethnicity pay gap reporting.

The government has carried out a consultation on ethnicity pay reporting. The consultation ended on 11 January 2019, with legislation to enact mandatory reporting expected to follow later on in 2019.
