Totally Local Company Ltd – Gender Pay Gap Statement (2025)

Totally Local Company Ltd sets employee pay against the Local Government NJC Pay Scale, living wage and Foundation living wage aiming to attract and retain skilled people to deliver our services without discriminating against gender.
Totally local Company consulted and negotiated new contracts terms for those employed after May 2013 to support the needs of the business and ensure survival following the significant financial deficit in 2012. The strategy aimed to safeguard jobs and support the business plan to recover the financial position of the company.

The current Living Wage level set nationally each year is £12.21 per hour. Totally Local Company Ltd has committed to reviewing its approach to application of the Real Living Wage in line with NJC Pay Scale agreement and is currently set at £13.45 per hour. Totally Local Company Ltd. employ Apprentices of all ages. They are paid at the national minimum wage rate for their age, which is higher than the apprentice rate during their first year of employment.

Totally Local Company Ltd is a supportive and flexible employer with a range of flexible working patterns and models available to all employees, these include, flexible working, term time, part time, job share, agile and home working. We also operate a “blind” recruitment process to support transparent gender consideration. Totally Local Company Ltd has several female role models in management positions and since new contacts from May 2013 we can demonstrate positive trends in the GPG.

Totally Local Company Ltd.’s will continue its efforts to improve GPG including identifying areas where it is difficult for female workers to access, improving career development opportunities through PDR and Passport to Leadership initiatives (from April 2018).
