The gender pay gap among Bristol City Council staff grew wider last year as men are paid on average more than women.
As well as the gender pay gap, on average people of colour are also paid less than white staff, disabled workers are paid less than able-bodied staff, and workers from the LGBT community are paid less than straight staff. While some pay gaps in the council are widening, others shrunk last year.
Details of the latest pay gap data were published this week, covering April 2020 to March 2021, and will be considered by the human resources committee on July 21. Council chiefs said they had “clear plans and targets” to reduce the pay gaps among their staff.
