Dispatches Season 2018 Episode 8 - The Truth About Your Pay

Airdate: 2018-Mar-19

Episode summary:

Dispatches investigates how companies could artificially close their gender pay gap. Reporter Tazeen Ahmad reveals how the figures companies present to the government may not always be what they seem, as the deadline for disclosing the average difference between the pay of male and female employees fast approaches. Undercover reporters meet the 'gender pay gap consultants' who offer advice that could allow firms to exploit loopholes in the law in order to protect their own reputations, instead of tackling differences in pay. Dispatches looks at whether this flagship policy will be enforced and asks if this new law aimed at promoting pay equality and adding billions of pounds to the economy is fit for purpose.
