Gender Pay Gap

This statement covers all staff employed by USP College and articulates the commitment of the College to ensure that staff receive equal pay for work of equal value.

As an employer, we are required by law to carry out Gender Pay Reporting under the Equality Act 2010 (Gender Pay Gap Information) Regulations 2017.

This involves carrying out six calculations that show the difference between the average earnings of men and women in our organisation; it will not involve publishing individual employees data.

We are required to publish the results on our own website and a government website. This is based on data collected during the 2023-2024 tax year from March 2024. We can use these results to assess:

• how effectively talent is being maximised and rewarded
• the balance of male and female employees at different levels
• the levels of gender equality in our workplace.

The College supports and promotes equality of opportunity for all staff and believes as part of this ethos that staff should receive equal pay for the same or broadly similar work, regardless of their ‘protected characteristic’ under the Equality Act (2010) and personal circumstances; political affiliation; or union activity.

To achieve equal pay for staff doing equal work, the College will operate a pay system, which is transparent, based on objective criteria and free from unlawful bias.
