Equal Pay Statement

Equal Pay Policy Statement


1.    Borders College promotes and adheres to the principle of equal opportunities in employment and undertakes to operate a pay system which is transparent, based on objective criteria free from gender bias.

2.    The college is committed to working with existing recognised trade unions and non-union staff representatives to take action to ensure that we identify and eliminate any gender related pay inequalities.

In the course of the next three years, we will:

•    Implement an equal pay review in line with the EOC guidance for all current staff and starting pay for new staff

•    Plan and implement actions in partnership with recognised trade unions/non-union representatives

•    Ensure those involved in determining pay are adequately trained

•    Ensure transparency by informing employees of the process for determining their own pay

•    Deal with any grievances on equal pay as a priority


•    Work with recognised trade unions/non-union representatives to monitor pay statistics annually
