Goldman Sachs Group Inc. pays women in the U.K. an average of 50.6 percent less than male colleagues per hour, although this is an improvement on the 56 percent gap the Wall Street firm reported a year ago.
For year-end bonuses the gap is much wider at 66.7 percent, which is also slightly better than the difference between genders last year, the bank said in a statement published Monday.
The figures reflect the imbalances that still exist at the biggest financial firms. HSBC Holdings Plc said earlier this year that its hourly pay gap between men and women had grown to 61 percent. The firm said employees are paid the same for similar roles but that women are often under-represented in senior positions.
