The gender pay gap is a difference between the average (mean) pay of all male and female colleagues across all jobs with our organisation. A gender pay gap does not mean that men and women are paid at different rates for the same work, this would be against our values (and illegal), it means that on average there are more women in lower paid jobs and more men in higher paid jobs.

SJOG supports the principle of equal pay for work of equal value.
