Next steps

Close the gaps below before the 31 May deadline.
Use the WGEA Portal to start the report — system carries forward prior-year answers.
Notify employees and employee representatives that the report is being prepared (statutory requirement).
Provide commentary on your pay gap result — WGEA publishes employer-level gender pay gaps; absence of commentary stands out.
CEO must sign off — book in early to avoid month-end bottleneck.
