Gender Pay Gap
Gender Pay Gap Summary April 2024
This summary provides the required gender pay gap information for Shield Security (Yorks) Ltd. It includes hourly pay, bonus pay and pay quartile distribution for all 365 employees, published in accordance with the Equality Act 2010 Gender Pay Gap Information Regulations.
We are pleased to confirm that our pay practices are role-based and standardised, meaning there is no variation in pay between male and female staff carrying out the same duties.
As a result, any reported gender pay gap arises solely due to the proportion of men and women in the workforce, rather than differences in pay for the same work. The higher percentage of male employees reflects the wider gender imbalance within the security industry as a whole.
We are committed to equality, fairness, and inclusivity in all areas of employment, and will continue to promote diversity and equal opportunities in recruitment and progression across the business.
