The UK is preparing to publish an equality bill to enhance diversity, equity, and inclusion laws. This legislation will require employers with over 250 employees to disclose whether pay gaps exist between white and non-disabled staff compared to Black, minority ethnic, and disabled employees. The proposed bill aims to create a regulatory body to enforce equal pay standards and mandate action plans for improving workplace equality. Additionally, proposals suggest protections for whistleblowers who report employers hiding relevant pay gap information, contrasting significantly with recent US actions against DEI initiatives.
The equality (race and disability) bill will require employers with over 250 staff to disclose pay disparities between white and non-disabled employees and their Black, minority ethnic, and disabled colleagues, similar to the current requirements for gender pay gaps.
The anticipated bill seeks to establish a regulatory and enforcement unit to address pay discrimination and mandate employers to create action plans aimed at enhancing equality in the workplace.
