What are employers required to submit?

Any employer with 250 or more employees on their ‘snapshot date’ at the end of the financial year must submit both:

• a gender pay gap report showing their breakdown of pay and bonuses by gender
• an action plan outlining how they intend to address the gender pay gap and support employees experiencing menopause – these are voluntary for the 2026 to 2027 reporting year

Action plan

What is an action plan?

Employers with 250 or more employees can produce and publish a voluntary action plan alongside their gender pay gap data. Their plan shows the steps they are taking to address their gender pay gap and support employees experiencing menopause.

This will be mandatory from spring 2027, subject to legislation.

To create an action plan, employers review a list of evidence-informed actions recommended by the government. They can identify any that are already an established part of their working practice (‘embedded actions’), and choose at least 2 new actions to focus on (‘planned actions’).

You can see the full list of actions (opens in a new window) and guidance for employers on creating an action plan (opens in a new window).

CHINGFORD ACADEMIES TRUST added the following ‘planned’ actions to their action plan for 2026 to 2027:

• Encourage employee development through actionable steps
• Set targets to improve gender representation
• Train managers to support employees experiencing menopause

They indicated that the following ‘embedded’ actions are already an established part of their working practice:

• Make job descriptions inclusive

• Use fair and structured interview techniques
• Advertise leave policies in job adverts
• Advertise flexible working arrangements in job adverts
