Women earn more than men in many public sector organisations - but only in lower grade jobs, according to research from the BBC.
Figures obtained under a freedom of information request show that in 14 out of 17 organisations, women earned more than men in administrative assistant and administrative officer jobs.
But the gap is reversed at the top of the civil service, with men's pay outstripping that of women by a substantial sum in higher grade posts.
Interesting stuff - if not quite the "mystery" it is billed as in the BBC's headline. But how easily could your organisation provide comparable figures showing pay differentials at specific seniority levels and in particular roles?
As a CELRE salary survey participant, you would have no problem at all. Data for our surveys can be queried using XpertHR JobPricing to show gender breakdowns for particular roles across both entire industries and in individual organisations.
Go here to read more about how this works.
With pressure mounting on employers to conduct gender pay audits and to report their findings (not to mention sorting out discrepancies), HR departments will increasingly need straightforward tools of this sort.
