Gender pay gap: Football Association figures show 23.2% gap

Organisations are also required to release information about the bonuses paid to men and women and the proportion of males and females at each of four pay levels.

The FA employed the highest proportion of men at the highest salary “quartile” – 75.8% compared to 66% at the LTA and 55.3% at JCR.

The FA paid 55.1% of male staff a bonus compared to 50.1% of women, with men earning on average 16.4% more in bonuses

A higher proportion of female employees at JCR (70.9%) were paid bonuses than men (63.5%), but men earned 13.1% more in bonuses on average due to more male staff at the most senior pay level.

However, the median bonus gender pay is 182% higher for women than men at JCR, partly explained by the higher proportion of women (57.3%) than men (42.7%) at the second highest pay level together with more men at the lower pay levels.

The LTA paid 87% of its male staff a bonus, against 74% of women, while men earned on average 55% more in bonuses.

It partly attributed the gender bonus gap to the bonuses paid out after Great Britain’s men won the Davis Cup in 2015.
