As an employer with a team of more than 250 people LED is required by law to publish an annual pay gap report. This is the report for the snapshot of 2025
Summary
The gender pay gap analysis demonstrates the differences in the average hourly rate between men and women in a workplace. This is not the same as inequality of pay where it is unlawful to pay men and women who carry out the same job or a job of similar work and value a different rate because they are male or female. LED has a clear policy of paying employees equally for the same or equivalent work regardless of gender and is confident that the gender pay gap identified does not stem from paying women and men differently for the same work.
LED’s workforce comprises of full time, part time, casual and variable hours staff in a variety of leisure settings across Devon and Somerset. In the snapshot dataset of 724 employees, 58.2% of employees are female (2017: 62%), 41.8male (2017: 38%). No bonus pay is reported for 2025 and all figures reported have been calculated using the standard methodologies quoted by HMRC.
As an organisation LED will be using the data from this report to examine patterns of recruitment, roles and employment conditions that are resulting in the gaps and to address any issues that are identified.
