Gender Pay Gap

Understanding the Gender Pay Gap data

In this report we are sharing our gender pay gap data for the 12 months to April 2018. To calculate our Gender Pay Gap, we have taken the pay data for 269 employees.

What is the gender pay?

The gender pay gap measures the differences between men and women’s earnings across the business by expressing women’s pay as a percentage of men’s pay.

This is different to equal pay. Equal pay refers to men and women receiving equal pay for equal work.

Gender Pay Gap

The figures below show’s our gender pay gap as the percentage difference in both our median and mean pay

Median  (middle)	Mean (average
31.9%	67.51%

We know that our median figures are well above the UK average of just over 18%, this is due to the nature of our business, being a professional rugby club.
Bonus Pay Gap

The figures below show the percentage of men and women who received a bonus payment and the percentage difference in bonus amount between men and women for the year ending 5^th April 2018.

Percentage of men and women who received a bonus

27.7% men

10.7% women

Bonus pay gap

Median 49.95%

Mean 65.20%

Pay Quartiles

The figures below show our gender balance within each of our pay quartiles.

Each quartile has an equal number of employees. Quartile 1 having the lowest paid staff and Quartile 4 having the highest paid staff, the figures below are based on the entirety of our employees and being a professional rugby club, you can see that the female percentage in Quartile 4 is low.

	Q1	Q2	Q3	Q4
Male	77.6%	80.6%	65.7%	94%
Female	22.4%	19.4%	34.3%	6%

However, to give a clearer comparison, below is the quartile percentages based on non-rugby playing staff.

	Q1	Q2	Q3	Q4
Male	77.6%	69%	30.6%	50%
Female	22.4%	31%	61.1%	50%
