Gender Pay Gap

The gender pay gap is the difference between the average pay of men and women in an organisation. Any employer with 250 or more employees on a specific date each year (snapshot date) must report their gender pay gap data.
For public authority employers (such as EVAT) the snapshot date is 31 March 2025. Data must be reported by the deadline, which is 30 March 2026.
The Trust’s analysis of its gender pay gap shows that at 31 March 2025:

The Trust employed 489 staff members. 400 were female (82%) and 89 were male (18%)
The median pay gap stood at 41.05%
The mean pay gap stood at 22.85%
The gap has increased since the end of March 2024 because:
- Many more females than males are employed at every pay quartile level, which reflects the demographics of the Trust’s employee base
- More females occupy lower paid roles and work on a flexible/part time basis than males
- More females were employed in lower paid roles within the Trust

To address the gap, the Trust will:
- Use gender pay gap data to address imbalances in terms of job type and grade
- Raise the profile of flexible working arrangements to enable more staff members to access them
- Look to offer opportunities to women to encourage them into higher paying roles
The Trust does not pay bonuses to staff.
