Councillor Milkinder Jaspal presented the report on the Council’s gender pay gap for 2017. The information would be published on the government Gender Pay Gap reporting site by 30 March 2018 as required by legislation.

Councillor Jaspal highlighted that the pay gap within the Council of 7.76%was considerably below the national average, the public sector average and the West Midlands average for gender pay gap. Therefore comparatively, the Council’s performance around the gender pay gap had been good.  An action plan had been developed to help further improve the Council’s performance on the gender pay gap within the organisation.
