One potential area is to allow the national Low Pay Commission to examine structural pay inequalities. Another area is a gender breakdown of full-time employees, part-time employees and employees with contracts for flexible working hours. I also suggest that we change the size of companies to which these regulations apply, the time at which they apply, and the number of scales and timescales. Also, I want to ensure that the legislation applies to legal partnerships and multidisciplinary practices, to ensure that the attached employer narrative is mandatory, and to ensure that where people are not complying and not publishing the information that employers could, potentially, face fines or have their names published in a report by International Research and Exchange, IREX. These areas that I have mentioned relate to Report Stage.
