On 6th March the Government announced that they would move towards introducing mandatory reporting; these new measures will be introduced in 2016. today 14 July 2015 saw the launch of a consultation on and around the details.   More information here   The consultation closes in 06 September so interested parties need to respond quickly.  Introducing Equal Pay auditing and reporting can be complex and those organisations affected, ie with more than 250 employees, need to start planning now.   Concrew Training are pleased to be able to offer high value training and consultancy in this area.   Please contact us for more information #hr #humanresources #unions #equalpay #gender
