Calls for action on ethnicity pay reporting are growing, writes Charles Pigott, professional support lawyer at Mills & Reeve, in this week’s NLJ

The introduction of mandatory ethnicity pay reporting was the recommendation of a major 2017 review and the subject of a government consultation in 2018.

In June, the government indicated in a statement that it would consider the move but warned of ‘genuine difficulties’ in designing the methodology.

Pigott looks at the main challenges involved.
