In brief
The government has announced that due to the continuing impact of the pandemic, the gender pay gap reporting deadline for the 2020/21 reporting period will be extended by six months to 5 October 2021 for qualifying employers in the private sector. Employers are, however, encouraged to report their figures before the deadline.
The reporting requirement for the 2019/20 period was suspended last year due to the pandemic and the government has confirmed that there is no requirement to report on those figures at all.
