First Class Supply Gender Pay Gap Report: Published 9th June 2021
At First Class Supply we are committed to equal treatment of all employees regardless of their gender.
Having completed our latest Gender Pay Gap Report we have found women’s mean pay was slightly higher than for men for the first time since the reporting was introduced.
Women’s Median pay was lower and a greater difference than last year.
We provide employment for members of staff in a variety of roles and the amount of employees employed in specific roles has a significant impact on our figures.
This is determined by the level of demand from our clients.
For example the more Male/Female Teaching Assistants we have employed this lowers the average pay. As opposed to if we have more experienced Male/Female Teachers employed this increases the average pay.
This is due to Teaching Assistants having a lower rate of pay than Teachers.
We have found for a long period of time that a much higher percentage of Teaching Assistants who come to join our team are Women.
We believe these factors are what contribute to any gender pay gap reported in our figures.
We are confident that our gender pay gap is not caused by Men and Women being paid differently to do the same job.
As a company we always pay Men and Women of the same experience level the same amount for undertaking the same role.
