BARNSLEY COUNCIL’S BONUS GENDER PAY GAP barnsley.gov.uk BarnsleyCouncil @BarnsleyCouncil Results show that female employees received 74.7% more in bonus pay than male employees. For gender pay gap reporting purposes bonus payments include productivity, performance and incentive payments and the council doesn’t make any of these payments. The council does however operate a long service award of a £1OO voucher upon achievement of 25 years’ service. The long service award is consistently applied to all employees upon them achieving 25 years’ service. 28 employees received the award of which 19 employees (67.8%) were female and 9 employees (32.1%) were male. This is reflective of the council’s workforce composition The council also has a Recruitment & Retention Policy where one off payments can be awarded to recruit or retain employees in key posts. As part of the approvals process associated with recruitment and retention payments managers are required to consider the wider impact on protected characteristics before awarding a payment. A recruitment payment was applied consistently to 2 new appointments in the same job role, 1 male (5O%) and 1 female (5O%). A retention payment was applied to 1O employees (8O% female and 2O% male). The payment was applied consistently to 8 employees who were in the same job role (6 female and 2 male). The remaining 2 employees (both female) were in different roles and therefore paid different amounts. 5 BONUS PAY £633.51 MEAN* £362.63 MEAN* MEAN DIFFERENCE -74.7% MEDIAN DIFFERENCE 0% £100 MEDIAN* £100 MEDIAN* *Mean: a comparison of the average pay for a female and the average pay for a male.
