John Cotton Group Limited – 2023 Gender Pay Gap Report
Pay and Bonus Gap
The gender pay gap is defined as the difference in the average pay between men and women. This differs from an equal pay gap, which is a failure to pay men and women like pay for like work.
| Mean | Median | |
| Hourly pay | 23.6% | 7.3% |
| Bonus | 85.3% | 3.0% |
The above table shows our mean and median hourly gender pay gap and bonus gap as at the snapshot date (i.e. 5 April 2023 (pay) and in the 12-month reference period to 5 April 2023 (bonus).
Our analysis of our gender pay gap shows that it is largely driven by the fact that there are more men in higher-paid, senior managerial roles within the business. When we adjust for this factor, our mean pay gap drops to B.2o/o, where any differences can largely be explained by skill set or time in role factors.
When looking at our bonus gap it is predominantly driven by two key factors, the first being by the amount of bonus paid to the shareholders and second that there are more men in senior managerial roles in the business. When we adjust for these two factors, our mean bonus gap drops to 17.2o/o in favour of males.
At John Cotton Group Limited, we are confident that men and women are paid equally for doing equivalent jobs across our business.
The proportion of employees receiving a bonus:
Male 52.5%
Female 70.6%
