Gender Pay Gap Report 2024 – Heartwood Inns Limited
In accordance with gender pay gap reporting regulations, we are publishing our statistics for 2024.
These statistics look at the difference in the mean and median hourly rates of pay and bonus pay for male and female employees, regardless of their role or seniority. The statistics are based on the prescribed snapshot date of 5 April 2024.
Difference in hourly rate
The mean pay gap is the difference between average hourly earnings of men and women. The median pay gap is the difference between the midpoints in the ranges of hourly earnings for men and women.
To calculate the median, all hourly rates in the sample are lined up from highest to lowest for men and for women and the median is the middle rate for men and for women.
- Mean pay gap 14.8%
- Median pay gap 0.0%
We are confident we pay men and women the same amount for doing equivalent work, but we do currently employ more men than women in certain senior positions, particularly amongst our kitchen teams, and this creates a gender pay gap in our mean pay calculations.
It is pleasing to note that our median pay gap is nil, which reflects that we pay our staff equally for their respective job roles.
Bonus pay
The bonus statistics are based on the bonuses received by our workforce in the year to 5 April 2024.
Women’s mean bonus pay was 41% lower than men’s, and women’s median bonus pay was 50% lower than men’s.
Both the mean and median gender bonus gaps reflect the larger share of males employed in the most senior management roles where larger bonuses are awarded.
As in previous years, we remain committed to paying our staff a fair wage based on their job role and responsibilities, and offering equal opportunities to all regardless of their gender.
