Comment on Disabled people ‘effectively working for free for rest of year due to pay gap’
Ozymandias88@feddit.uk 3 days agoI don’t think it’s as black and white as that. There is a bit more info here: tuc.org.uk/…/tuc-disability-pay-gap-means-disable… Which includes a breakdown by level and shows people with a disability earn less regardless of level in the organisation. Granted there still could be different jobs inside each level but if the average disabled person, regardless of level earns less than the average non-disabled person either we have systemic discrimination affecting which jobs disabled people can get or affecting their salaries once they get those jobs (or both)

But the issue then is equal pay for the roles, which is already protected. The pay gap phrasing is not helpful is my point, and should be made more clear that the issue is opportunity. And this is very easy to understand that organisations have to put effort into making it possible for persons with disabilities to be able to work in their organisation in roles the more able persons would be automatically able to do so.
