Question to the Department for Education:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what the average hourly earnings are of (a) female, (b) male, (c) full-time and (d) part-time employees of her Department.
The table below shows the average hourly earnings of the Department for Education (DfE) staff by a) female b) male c) BME d) Non-BME e) part-time and f) full time.
Average Earnings of DfE Staff
| Nov-16 |
Female | £20.61 |
Male | £21.97 |
BME | £18.98 |
Non-BME | £21.93 |
Part-time | £21.04 |
Full-time | £21.19 |
The Department records earnings as annual salaries. In order to covert the annual salaries to hourly rates the following calculation has been used; ((Gross Basic Salary*FTE)/52)/Weekly hours.
The pay gap is lower when analysed at grade level for men and women and BME and non-BME. The gaps can be largely attributed to the fact that are greater proportions of women and BME staff at the lower pay bands.
