The gender pay gap measures the difference between the earnings of men and women within an organisation and looks at both the mean and the median rates of pay within the company.

Our median gender pay gap is 0%
In other words, the median hourly rate for women is the same as for men.
Mean (the average)
The mean hourly rate is the average hourly wage across the entire organisation so the mean gender pay gap is a measure of the difference between women’s mean hourly wage and men’s mean hourly wage.
Median (the middle)
The median hourly rate is calculated by ranking all employees from the highest paid to the lowest paid, and taking the hourly wage of the person in the middle; so the median gender pay gap is the difference between women’s median hourly wage (the middle paid woman) and men’s median hourly wage (the middle paid man).
Top quartile (highest paid)
54.6% of the top quartile are women / 45.4% of the top quartile are men
Upper middle quartile
66.7% of the upper middle quartile are women / 33.3% of the upper middle quartile are men
Lower middle quartile
61.5% of the lower middle quartile are women / 38.5% of the lower middle quartile are men
Lower quartile (lowest paid)
53.4% of the lower quartile are women / 46.6% of the lower quartile are men
Pay quarters are calculated by splitting all employees in an organisation into four even groups according to their level of pay. Looking at the proportion of women in each quarter gives an indication of women's representation at different levels of the organisation.
