At Eclipse Care Group, we are committed to promoting equality, fairness, and transparency across all levels of our organization. This Gender Pay Gap Policy outlines our dedication to addressing any pay disparities between male and female employees, in compliance with the UK Equality Act 2010 (Gender Pay Gap Information) Regulations 2017.

We believe that our workforce should be rewarded based on skills, experience, and performance, ensuring equal opportunities for all employees

What Is the Gender Pay Gap?

The gender pay gap refers to the difference in average earnings between men and women across an organization. It is distinct from equal pay, which ensures that men and women are paid the same for performing the same or equivalent work
