Overview of diversity pay gaps at Sense

About pay gaps

Our pay gaps compare the pay of one group of employees to another group. If their average hourly pay is the same, there is no pay gap. If there’s a difference, this is called the pay gap.

This is different to equal pay – that’s when employees earn the same pay for the doing the same job. So an organisation can have a pay gap but still pay people equally.

On our latest snapshot date of 5 April 2023 the diversity pay gaps at Sense are as follows:

Gender

  • Median gender pay gap: 3.1% (up 2.7% from 0.4%)

  • Mean gender pay gap: 8.82% (up 1.42% from 7.4%)

Ethnicity

  • Median ethnicity pay gap: 6.3% (up 3.8% from 2.5%)

  • Mean ethnicity pay gap: 7.8 % (up 0.4% from 7.4%)

Disability

  • Median disability pay gap: 0.0%

  • Mean disability pay gap: -3.2%

The median pay gap is the difference between the midpoints in the ranges of hourly earnings of men and women. The same approach is applied to establish the difference between the midpoints in the ranges of hourly earnings. It takes all salaries in the sample, lines them up in order from lowest to highest, and picks the middle salary.

The mean pay gap confirms the difference between the average hourly earnings of men and women.
