Gender Pay
Why do we do it?
Government legislation introduced in 2017 requires all companies employing more than 250 people to publish an annual report on their gender pay gap.
This reporting measures the difference in average pay of men and women (regardless of role) across the business.
The purpose? To highlight the gap and ensure we can put plans in place to get rid of it if there is one.
The reporting year 2021 - 2022 is the first year Megan's is required to report.

- 5. Median bonus pay gap
The figures are based on our payroll data the the snapshot date (5th April).

Pay Quartiles
When reporting on our pay gap, we split our employees into four pay quartiles
- 1. Upper
- 2. Upper Mid
- 3. Lower Mid
- 4. Lower
The gender splits in the pay quartiles is as illustrated.
We have more men in the upper pay quartile, this is predominantly due to 78% of our kitchen leaders being male.
Closing the Gap
Having highlighted the gap, we know there are a number of things we can do to help us close of gender pay gap, some of which we have already put into practice: Training and Development We are committed to creating opportunities and developing our talented team. Our training and career pathways are being upgraded and will be a key tool in increasing the number of women into leadership roles. We have already seen an increase in women entering management roles, notably as Head Chefs, General Managers and an Operations Manager Bonus Structures We have reviewed our bonus structures to ensure they are accessible across all roles. Support office appointments Since the snapshot date we have appointed 5 females into senior leadership position within our support office function
