Last Chance Saloon For Companies Note Reporting Gender Pay Gap

It is "last-chance saloon" for companies to report on their gender pay gap, the head of the Equality and Human Rights Commission has warned, saying the body "will be coming after" firms that omit to do so in time. Companies with more than 250 employees are obliged to publish their gender pay gap by 4th April. So far, 3,700 businesses have done; 5,300 have not. Rebecca Hilsenrath, head of the EHRC, said: "Let me be very clear: failing to report is breaking the law." Of those companies that do not comply, Hilsenrath said "There will be a list and this will be made public. We will be conducting a statutory investigation[...] It will be very public."
