Papworth Trust welcomes the overall reduction in our gender pay gap.

A number of changes have affected our Gender Pay Gap in April 2023:

We paid a sleep-in top up for our Care staff until June 2023.  As sleep ins have been classed as non-working time, we have included payments for these shifts in the calculations but not the hours completed.  This reflects a change in our reporting methods from October 2020 and results in an increase in pay for our lower paid staff.

We introduced company sick pay for all staff in January 2021.

The male workforce has increased by 4.7% to 35.8% of the total workforce.

We have had a greater proportion of female staff contributing to our salary sacrifice pensions.  As the calculations must be made on gross pay after pension deductions for salary sacrifice this has increased the gender pay gap, particularly in the lower quartile.
