Race & Disability Pay Gap Reporting Policy

 Policy Statement 

People Group Services is committed to equality, transparency and fairness in pay and employment practices. We recognise the importance of addressing pay disparities relating to race and disability and support the principles underpinning the UK Government’s ongoing consultations on Race and Disability Pay Gap Reporting.

This policy sets out People Group Services’s approach to compliance readiness and future reporting obligations once statutory requirements are introduced. 

Current Status 

At present: 

UK race and disability pay gap reporting is subject to government consultation 

• There is no statutory obligation to publish race or disability pay gap data 
• Reporting requirements, thresholds and methodologies are not yet finalised 
• People Group Services will monitor legislative developments closely and implement reporting processes once legal duties are confirmed. 

Scope 

This policy applies to: 

• All employees (once employed) 
• Directors and officers 
• Workers and agency workers 
• Contractors and consultants (where relevant to reporting scope) 

It covers all aspects of pay, reward and employment practices. 

Legal and Regulatory Context 

This policy is aligned with: 

• Equality Act 2010 
• Employment Rights Act 1996 
• UK Government consultations on Race and Disability Pay Gap Reporting 
• Future secondary legislation anticipated to mirror gender pay gap reporting frameworks 

Commitment to Fair Pay 

People Group Services ® is committed to: 

• Equal pay for equal work 
• Pay decisions based on role, responsibility, experience and performance 
• Transparent and objective reward structures 
• Eliminating unlawful discrimination in pay and progression 

Data Collection Principles 

Once reporting obligations apply, People Group Services will ensure that: 

• Data collection is lawful, fair and transparent 
• Disclosure of race or disability information is voluntary 
• Data is handled sensitively and confidentially 
• Aggregated data is used for reporting purposes only 

All processing will comply with UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018. 

Disability-Related Considerations 

People Group Services recognises that disability data is particularly sensitive. 

Accordingly: 

• Disclosure will never be mandatory 
• Reasonable adjustments will be respected 
• No individual will be disadvantaged for choosing not to disclose 

Future Reporting Commitments 

Once statutory thresholds and methodologies are confirmed, People Group Services will: 

• Calculate race and disability pay gaps using the prescribed methodology 
• Publish required reports within statutory deadlines 
• Provide explanatory narratives where required 
• Take proportionate action to address identified disparities 

Action Planning 

Where pay gaps are identified, People Group Services will: 

• Analyse contributing factors 
• Review recruitment, progression and reward practices 
• Implement reasonable and proportionate actions to support equality 

Transparency and Communication 

People Group Services is committed to transparency and will: 

• Communicate pay gap information clearly once reporting applies 
• Engage openly with stakeholders on equality matters 

Review and Monitoring 

This policy will be: 

• Reviewed annually 
• Updated immediately upon the introduction of statutory race or disability pay gap reporting requirements
