The legislative obligation to disclose gender pay gap came into force in the UK. It applies to all employers with more than 250 employees. There are more than 9,000 such employers. The measure will affect approximately half of all employees in the country (about 15 million people).
According to the BBC website, the current gender pay gap in the UK is 18.1% (for all workers) and 9.4% for full-time employees. The aim of the new legislative measure is to reduce discrimination in the workplace in order to achieve better economic results.
