Wellcome Trust publishes gender pay gap

The UK’s biggest research charity has published its gender pay gap ahead of the April 2018 deadline by which UK companies with more than 250 employees will have to make this information public. The median salary for women at Wellcome is 20.8% less than that for men. This is wider than the UK average gender pay gap of 18%. Wellcome says the gap is due to the majority of senior roles being held by men. Almost two-thirds of its workforce are women.
