Equal Pay Day – 14th November 2025: Closing the Gender Pay Gap
Equal Pay Day 2025, marked on 14th November, symbolises the date when women effectively stop earning compared to men, based on the UK’s current gender pay gap.
According to the Office for National Statistics (ONS), the UK gender pay gap currently stands at around 14%, showing slow but steady progress.
The Equality Act 2010 requires that men and women doing equal work receive equal pay, including salary, bonuses, pension contributions, and benefits.
Employers should regularly review pay structures to ensure fairness and transparency. Proactive pay audits also help attract talent, improve morale, and reduce turnover.
✅ Consensus HR supports businesses with fair pay and HR compliance reviews, helping employers build equitable, motivated, and high-performing teams.
Comment from Matthew Chilcott – Owner:
