All UK companies with over 250 employees have to publish data on the gender pay gap by 5 April. Here are all the big companies who have published their gender pay gaps so far.

Some 736 companies have done so thus far with the data revealing that men are paid more than women in the majority of companies because they are in higher-paid positions.

The gender pay gap is the difference in average hourly rates of pay that male and female employees receive.

The pay gap is different from equal pay. Equal pay law in the UK demands that employers pay men and women the same amount for the same job. What the gender pay gap reflects, according to the government, is that a higher proportion of women are in lower-paid occupations and part-time work, and that women are “less likely to progress up the career ladder” to top-paying jobs.

Overall, the UK’s gender pay gap for all employees, full-time and part-time, stood at 18.1 percent in 2016, down from 20.2 percent in 2011, according to data from the Office for National Statistics.

When looking at just full-time workers it fell to 9.4 percent.

Companies have been publishing figures ad hoc ahead of the April cut-off.

The firm to publish the biggest gender pay gap so far is women’s fashion chain Phase Eight – with a 64.8 percent lower average hourly rate for female staff.

The initiative has been praised by campaign groups. The Women’s Equality Party tweeted:

Transparency – while welcome – is not enough to close the gender pay gap. Action is needed to address the imbalance of power that underlies the problem, and to make sure women and men’s work is valued equally.

Meanwhile, others have criticised the methodology of the survey as it compares the salaries of different jobs against each other.

The gender pay gap is not the same thing as having equal pay, and we are confident that men and women in our organisation are paid equally for the same and similar jobs. We’ve calculated the figures in line with government regulations and, like many others in our industry, we have found that differences in average pay are down to several different factors.
