Tui's male employees paid more than double female staff: report
The travel group Tui has the largest gender pay gap reported to date by a major UK company, with its male employees paid more than double the female staff. Women at the group’s Tui Airways UK unit earn on average 56.9% less in hourly pay than men, according to data filed under a new government scheme intended to highlight the gender pay gap and encourage employers to address the disparity. The company said the gap stemmed from low representation of women in highly paid roles such as pilots, engineering, technology and senior management. “We know that our gender pay gap is not an equal pay issue, rather a lack of representation in specific roles,” Tui said in its gender pay gap report for its UK & Ireland business. Tui Airways UK, which was known as Thomson Airways until October, employs 870 pilots earning an average of GBP111,683, of whom 95% are men. In contrast nearly 80% of its cabin crew, who are paid an average of GBP26,272, are women. But even at its head office Tui revealed a pay gap. Although 62% of its 3,308 head office staff are women, men are more likely to hold the better-paid roles in senior management, engineering or technology.<br/>
