UK GENDER PAY GAP<\/strong>: It is an effort to combat the gender salary gap in Britain.<\/p>\n

The additional notifications mean the law will require companies to publish more pay details.<\/p>\n

The UK Prime Minister [David Cameron] announced the changes in July. Big corporations would be compelled to disclose information on how much they pay men as compared to women.<\/p>\n

The new rules follow a recent consultation on how to design the new gender pay gap regulations.<\/p>\n

Corporations Compelled to Disclose Information<\/h2>\n

The government reiterated that the biggest employers would now need to declare and reveal information about bonuses. The public sector should also reveal the levels of pay received by its male and female staff.<\/p>\n

In Britain, as a rule, female workers earn 20 per cent less<\/strong> than their male counterparts. That is according to statistics released by recent official data.<\/p>\n

The findings come from a recent Hampton-Alexander Review. Even so, despite having 349 females now sitting as board members<\/a>, there is still room for further improvement.<\/p>\n
