Business leaders call on Prime Minister to introduce mandatory ethnicity pay gap reporting
Brought together by Business in the Community (BITC) and its Race Equality Leadership Team, the employers have written a letter to Boris Johnson, urging him to recognise that a mandatory duty to report is seen as a tool to create fair workplaces rather than a burden.
理查德·奥尔滕塔，副主席和KPMG和陪审席BITC’s Race Equality Leadership Team， 说
“这些商业领导者的集体声音不容忽视。关于种族支付差距的强制性义务意味着企业将有一个符合，明确的框架，他们可以用来解决歧视。当企业表示，欢迎额外的监管而不是负担，可能是政府抓住机会的时候了。“
Sandra Kerr CBE, race director at BITC, said
‘‘I hope that this letter will represent a line in the sand for the government. Now, only they can take the steps needed to help all businesses follow in the footsteps of forerunners like the members of BITC’s race leadership team. Employers aren’t running scared from ethnicity pay gap reporting – and neither should the Prime Minister.”
亲爱的编辑，
With COVID-19 rocking the foundations of our economy and society, it is more important than ever that employers take urgent steps to support Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) colleagues from disproportionate impact. Today, we are asking the Prime Minister to join us in that mission by making it mandatory for all organisations to report on their ethnicity pay gap.
经常，人们认为支付差距数据只是关于数字。事实上，它们只是一个终结的手段。通过提升关于我们的种族薪酬差距的对话给我们的执行团队和董事会，我们给予那些为我们工作的人 - 以及那些想要 - 我们花时间了解他们不同的观点的信仰。
我们很自豪的是，我们已经采取了自愿发布我们的种族薪水差距，并高兴的是11％的公司已经这样做了。但自愿出版物永远不会够：直到拥有超过250名员工的所有组织都要报告他们的薪酬差距，我们均未有过深度，我们需要在正确的规模上实现改变。
我们知道，这次政府关心业务，当我们面临如此纪念性挑战时，您不想给我们一个不可能的任务。但是，我们今天给你的信息很简单：我们没有认为这是一个负担。我们知道这是有效的，我们可以教其他组织遵循我们的领导。
英国的企业准备使这个国家成为世界上最公平的地方之一。强制性种族支付差距报告将是迈向野心的巨大步骤：我们只是在等待你的话。

Inequality in the workplace:
- 最近在社区业务的研究狗万买球下载发现,全国矿工工会几乎没有变化ber of black people in senior professional roles since 2012, representing just 1.5% of managers, directors and senior officials in the UK.
- BITC’s 2020 Race at Work Black Voicesreport found that 33% of black employees feel their ethnicity will be a barrier to their next career move, compared to only 1% of white employees.
- BITC’s research shows这只有11％的公司在自愿地报告他们的种族薪水差距。
- 2017年，政府认识到可能需要强制性义务，回应McGregor-Smith Review’s recommendationto introduce one by saying they would monitor voluntary reporting for a year but that they stood by, ready to act should companies not do enough. In January 2019, a formal consultation on ethnicity pay gaps closed. The government response has yet to be published.
