A Bill to require the Secretary of State to make Regulations under Section 78 of the Equality Act 2010 to require employers of more than 250 employees to publish information relating to the pay of employees for the purpose of showing whether there are differences in the pay of male and female employees; and for connected purposes.
If passed, the Equal Pay (Transparency) Bill would require employers with more than 250 employees to publish information about how much their workers are paid, so people can see whether men and women are paid differently. It would use regulations under the Equality Act 2010 to make this public data, with the aim of increasing transparency and helping to close gender pay gaps.
The bill is at the Second Reading stage in the House of Commons. It is a Commons-originating Private Members’ Bill and has not yet moved to Committee or further stages.
