General
Large Employers
Organisations meeting a specific employee threshold, typically 250 or more, subject to enhanced reporting obligations.
Definition
For the purposes of the Equality (Race and Disability) Bill, 'large employers' refers to organisations with 250 or more employees. This threshold is consistent with the existing gender pay gap reporting requirements in the UK. Employers meeting this criterion will be subject to the mandatory ethnicity and disability pay gap reporting obligations, requiring them to collect, analyse, and publish specific data related to pay disparities within their workforce. This focus on larger entities aims to ensure significant impact on the labour market while managing the regulatory burden on smaller businesses.
