expand_less This metric is based on the UK legislation requiring disclosure of gender pay gaps by companies based in the UK: [[https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukdsi/2017/9780111152010|The Equality Act 2010 (Gender Pay Gap Information) Regulations 2017]].

Data for this metric only comes from the [[https://gender-pay-gap.service.gov.uk/Viewing/search-results|GOV.UK Gender Pay Gap Service]], and as such it only concerns the performance of UK-based companies. Where this metric is applied to the performance of a multi-national company based outside the UK, the answer relates to the performance of some UK-based subsidiary (see the source for details).
