Gender Pay Report

Gender pay gap report 2021-22

Under government legislation, employers in the UK with 250 or more employees are required to report gender pay gap information every year. The data identifies the difference between women’s and men’s average weekly earnings, shown as a percentage of men’s earnings. It allows us to measure women’s overall position compared to men but does not compare like for like roles. It is therefore distinct from equal pay, which compares men and women carrying out equivalent work.

Our report illustrates the difference between male and female earnings on 5 April 2021.
The care sector is dominated by women and Prestige Nursing & Care’s workforce reflects this being made up of 88% women and 12% men. Our mean pay gap is 2.1% in England, which means on average men are paid more than women. In Scotland, our mean pay gap is -1.4%. The median pay gap of 7% in England means that men are paid more when you line up all hourly pay in order from lowest to highest and pick out the midpoint. In Scotland women are paid more at the midpoint with a median pay gap of -5.2%.

We have a mean bonus pay gap of 66.6% in England and -7.2% in Scotland, and a median bonus pay gap of 41.2% and 28.2%. This means that women were paid more bonus pay on average than their male counterparts.

Bonuses pay is predominately in the form of operational and senior leadership roles, as well as recognition through schemes such as member and employee of the month. Bonus eligibility is based on role and not gender. The bonus percentage gap, arises because most of the males who received a bonus occupied more senior roles in the organisation and therefore there is greater bonus eligibility and earning potential.
At Prestige Nursing & Care, we are confident that men and women are paid equally for doing equivalent jobs and the gender pay gap relates to people carrying out different roles and seniority of roles.

We are fully committed to the principles of equal opportunities and to being an inclusive and diverse organisation with a long term commitment to gender balance.
