New gender pay gap figures have revealed that women who work full time at Lichfield District Council are on average paid more than men.

The data will be discussed at a meeting of the local authority’s employment committee this week.

A report shows that the gender pay gap climbed from 2.36% to 2.4% in 2022/23.

The breakdown of figures shows that around 75% of the 310 person workforce is full time, up from 61% perviously.

While women were being paid an average of £15.94 an hour compared to £15 for men working full time, the part time figures show that male staff are earning an average of £12.94 an hour compared to £12.53 for female workers.

A draft report to the meeting said:

> “We are confident that our gender pay gap does not stem from paying men and women different toy for the same or equivalent work.  
>  
> “Our gender pay gap may be as a result of the roles which men and women undertake within the council and the salaries that these roles attract.”  
>  
> Lichfield District Council report

The report will be discussed at the meeting on Thursday (29th June).
