There has been significant improvement in the Gender Pay Gap since 2023 as we continue to attract and retain a higher proportion of talented women to the organisation. There is work to do on the bonus pay, but the differences can be attributed to bonus eligibility for certain roles
The mean Gender Pay Gap has decreased by 10.9% and the median Pay Gap is now -0.7%. As previously there were a larger percentage of females in junior roles, the gap has continued to decrease due to their continued progression in the business. This is reflected in the current median pay gap of -0.7% as women are now earning slightly more than men at the median level, reflecting improved representation in mid-level and senior roles.
Walnut Unlimited has two main sets of staff: office-based employees and fortnightly-paid field and call centre workers who work on a flexible basis to suit their personal circumstances and the requirements of assignments. The proportion of field and call centre workers by gender makes a difference as in 2024, 72% of these workers were female.
The field and call centre workers have a pay structure in place which reflects enhancements depending on the day of week or time of day worked, complexity of the assignment and whether they provide supervision of colleagues. The pay structure is applied consistently to everyone.
