The gender pay gap continues to plague firms.
Slaughter and May, Eversheds Sutherland and Hogan Lovells are the latest firms to reveal their U.K. gender pay gap, with Eversheds and Hogan Lovells also opting to reveal their respective ethnicity and sexuality pay gaps for the first time.
Hogan Lovells partner gender pay gap has increased by over 10%, after last year it reported a positive pay gap in favour of female partners of -2.1%.
The firm has now recorded a partner pay gap of 8.7% in favour of male partners., while its employee only gender pay gap also increased, to 18.7%. The combined pay gap for both groups increased 4.9% to 57.8%.
This year the firm recorded its pay gap based on sexual orientation for the first time, and recorded a favourable pay gap to employees identifying as LBTQ+ standing at -13% in 2019. For the partnership alone, however, it recorded a gap of 59.6%.
Meanwhile its ethnicity pay gap showed that its UK employees and partners combined pay gap went down 0.5% to 45.8%. The total compensation pay gap for the partnership went up 5.1% to 17.9% while its employees only metric showed it had decreased by 1.6% to 9.6% in 2019.
Slaughters partnership gender pay gap has widened from 8.9% to hit 10.5% based on figures for the 12 months to the end of April 2019. Including employees, the mean pay gap at the firm has increased to 16.2%, compared with 14.4% last year, when the firm announced its partner gender pay gap and ethnicity pay gap for the first time.
The firm's mean ethnicity pay gap for employees overall has remained almost flat at 9.4%. But for combined figures for partners and employees, the gap has increased by 3% to reach 54.1%.
Eversheds' combined partner and employee mean pay gap stayed largely flat on last year at 57.8%, while the combined bonus gap sits at 43.2%, down from 47.6%.
The firm has maintained a negative gender pay gap among equity partners of 5.64%, slightly down on the 2018 snapshot figure of 6.2%. For its partnership as a whole, the firm now has a gender pay gap of just 3.44%.
The firm's combined ethnicity pay gap stands at 33.7% though the firm measured a negative ethnicity pay gap of 5% for its black and mixed ethnicity partners.
As at the beginning of April 2019, 12.3% of Eversheds 2,422 U.K. employees self-identified as minority ethnic, including 5.5% of the partnership, according to the report.
Last month, Bryan Cave Leighton Paisner and Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer also disclosed theirs despite the fact that the government has halted gender pay gap reporting due to the pandemic this year.
