Duncan Lewis has recently completed its annual Gender Pay analysis and submitted the same. The reporting of gender pay revealed the following limitations: a lack of comparison in relation to comparable job roles/title(s), furthermore, the calculations fail to take into account intangible aspects which affect salary such as qualifications, employment experience and personal skills. Across the Duncan Lewis workforce, the company’s female/male proportion count is approximately 76% to 24% respectively. The reported figures illustrate on average, Duncan Lewis pays its male employees 11% more than female employees. However, adversely the median calculation demonstrates male employees are in fact paid 9% less when compared to female employees. This is lower than the currently reported UK-wide average gap, measured by the median, which is 9.9%. With the top quartile being 25% of the highest paid employees and the lower quartile the 25% of the lowest paid employees the quartiles represent the percentage comparison of male and female employees. The report found:

• Top salary quartile has 36% men and 64% women
• Upper middle salary quartile has 19% men and 81% women
• Lower middle salary quartile has 27% men and 73% women
• Lower salary quartile has 16% men and 84% women
