The Executive Board and Deans category includes the post of Principal which impacts on the gender pay gap as this post is currently held by a man. Two posts in this category* warrant a regional allowance whilst the Lanarkshire Regional Board is in place. Without these allowances, the gender pay gap reduces slightly to 11%.
The main gender imbalance remains within our Professional Services staff group, as it has done for several years. The Professional Services staff group is 73% female and has a more diverse salary range which accounts for the imbalance compared with our Academic staff group where salaries are all within the same five band range.
Across all staff, the median gender pay gap has increased to 17%. There remains no gender pay gap based on median hourly rates for Academic Staff. For Professional Services staff, the median gap has increased from 10% to 11.9% The number of female staff employed decreased by 11% between 2023/24 and 2024/25 compared with only 5% of males which will have an impact.
