disability pay gap
Hackney Council is currently addressing challenges in collecting comprehensive data to analyse its disability pay gap.
Hackney Council is facing difficulties in gathering sufficient data to accurately measure the disability pay gap, which is the difference in average earnings between disabled and non-disabled employees. A report to the Corporate Committee in September 2026 revealed that while gender disclosure rates are high, disability status disclosure stands at 87.06%, with 11.81% of responses marked as 'Not Specified'.
This data deficit means that any formal analysis of a disability pay gap would lack statistical validity, according to the report, which was deferred for further discussion. The council is committed to enhancing workforce equality disclosure data across all protected characteristics to ensure future analyses are statistically valid.
