Welcome to the Guardian’s weekly update on the gender pay gap. As of this week, 1,187 companies pay men more and 233 companies pay women more. PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) – which found “no evidence” of gender bias in pay decisions at the BBC – has a median hourly pay gap of 14%, while its median bonus pay gap stands at 40%. When we adjust for this factor our pay gap drops to 2.9%.” Why it would adjust for this fact, when it is thus far proving to be a major contributor to the gender pay gap in most companies, remains unclear. Meanwhile Ernst & Young revealed it has a median hourly pay gap of 15% and its median bonus pay gap stands at 35%; KPMG has a median hourly pay gap of 22% and its median bonus pay gap stands at 28% and Deloitte’s median hourly pay gap is 15% and median bonus pay gap is 39%.
