Schools Plus are proud to be an Equal Opportunities employer. All employees are paid the same rate of pay for their job and location, regardless of gender or any other protected characteristic. We are proud to have a very small Gender Pay Gap, affected only by a disparity of gender mix in leadership positions, though we are committed to ensuring equal opportunities and would like to see this gap reduced to nil.
Our gender pay gap figures (2017-18) are as follows:
Mean Gender Pay Gap
Mean male hourly pay £9.22
Mean female hourly pay £8.80
Mean gender pay gap 4.56%
The pay gap reflects only the balance of male to female employees in leadership positions, an area which we would like to address in future. There is no mean gender pay gap at each job level.
Median Gender Pay Gap
Median male hourly pay £7.75
Median female hourly pay £7.75
Median pay gap 0%
The median position for employees in the company is Venue Supervisor (outside London). All employees in this position, as with any other position, are paid the same rate regardless of gender

Proportion of females getting bonus 24%
Mean Bonus Pay Gap
Mean bonus male £1,212.00

Bonuses are paid principally to Venue Managers. Our most high-performing Venue Managers have been female, creating a negative bonus pay gap
Median Bonus Pay Gap
Median bonus male £50
Median bonus female £100

The median bonus reflects employees receiving Employee of the Month awards. This is £50 per award. The median gap reflects an anomaly of the median female having received two EOTM awards during the year

Q2 Male 60% / Female 40%

The quartile figures largely reflect the overall make-up of the company as a whole. We are aware of a slight skew in the upper quartiles and would like to see this corrected. All positions are recruited on skills, independent of any consideration of gender or other protected characteristics.
