Gender Pay Gap Report
The gender pay gap is an equality measure that shows the difference in average earnings between women and men. These calculations are based on mean and median values of hourly rates for pay and any bonus payment.
The information below relates to all our employees (i.e., includes all players and coaches).
Mean and Median gaps for Pay and Bonus
| Mean Pay Gap | Median Pay Gap | Mean Bonus Gap | Median Bonus Gap |
| 58% | 18% | 86% | 69% |
Percentage of employees receiving bonus payments
Proportion of Males and Females in each quartile pay band.
In presenting these figures, Scottish Rugby recognises that the overall organisation’s statistics reflect the considerable proportion of male professional rugby players and coaches employed by the organisation and included in the various quartile pay bands. These positions tend to be significantly higher paid than across the rest of the organisation driven by market factors and include on field success based bonus payments not necessarily applied to other employees.
I confirm that the calculations have been carried out accurately in accordance with The Equality Act 2010 (Gender Pay Gap Information) Regulations 2017.
