Full time / Part-time Mean & Median pay
The tables below show the mean and median hourly pay rates for full time and part time employees by gender as at 31 March 2024.
| Mean hourly rate | Mean gender pay gap | ||
| Female | Male | (FT/PT) | |
| Full time | £19.43 | £19.61 | 0.9% |
| Part time | £18.39 | £19.33 | 4.9% |
| Gloucestershire County Council | £19.07 | £19.56 | 2.5% |
| Median hourly rate | Median gender pay gap | ||
| Female | Male | (FT/PT) | |
| Full time | £17.85 | £17.79 | -0.3% |
| Part time | £16.86 | £17.63 | 4.4% |
| Gloucestershire County Council | £17.58 | £17.74 | 0.9% |
(Part time is defined as working less than 30 hours per week).
The mean and median hourly pay for part time employees for both men and women is lower than full time employees. There is no negative mean gender pay gap. This indicates that men have more of the highest full time/part time hourly paid rates, median (mid-point) full time/part time hourly pay rates for men are higher as well. As more women work part-time than men the lower hourly pay rates in these roles will continue to contribute to the overall gender pay within the council.
