Gender pay gap report
Lambeth's gender pay gap is 3.78%. Women are paid £0.98 less than men for every hour worked. The pay gap has increased by 1.25% from March 2022. This is due to the distribution of employees paid at different levels.
The pay gap is being driven by several factors:
- More women sit in the lower quartiles than men overall in the council.
- More women than men take leave resulting to not getting a full pay on a snapshot date of 31 March 2023. Any employee not on full pay is excluded from calculation.
- Our pay points are incremental and dependent on the employee’s length of service. While this applies to men and women, the impact on the pay gap will take some years to narrow as new employees are appointed at the bottom of pay points.
- More men than women are receiving additional contractual allowances, such as market supplements.
- Since March 2022, there has been a 3% decrease in women sitting in the upper middle quartile, and a 2% increase in women sitting in the Lower quartiles.
These figures have been published in line with gender pay reporting legislation, which requires employers with 250 or more employees to publish statutory calculations every year showing how large the pay gap is between their male and female employees.
Lambeth Council does not have a bonus scheme.
