To seek approval of the Gender Pay Gap report (report of the Portfolio Holder for Governance and Customer enclosed).

Consideration was given to the report of the Portfolio Holder for Governance and Customer which sought the approval of the Gender Pay Gap report.

The Portfolio Holder for Governance and Customer introduced the report, stating that it was a legal requirement for all organisations with over 250 employees to produce an annual report highlighting any gender-based pay gap. South Holland District Council fell under the 250 employee requirement, but in the spirit of openness it was proposed that gender pay gap figures be published. The gender pay gap was 1.5%, with the average pay for women being the lower figure. According to information from the LGA, this figure was well below the average for Local Government Organisations.

DECISION:

That the Gender Pay Gap report be approved.
