## When to use it

Use when an employer wants a public statement next to its gender pay gap on the Agency data explorer. The statement is voluntary. It is not the Executive Summary or the Industry Benchmark Report.

## Used for these tasks

- [Prepare the employer statement on the published gender pay gap](https://ailawframework.com/practice/anti-discrimination-and-industrial-relations/prepare-the-employer-statement-on-the-published-gender-pay-gap.md)

## How AI may be used

AI may place figures from a Workplace Gender Equality Agency report the principal supplies under the progress heading, each figure labelled with the report name.

**AI may:**

- Insert the employer name and the reporting year
- Copy a pay-gap figure from a report the principal has marked, and name that report beside the figure

**AI must not:**

- Must not explain why a gap exists
- Must not add an action or a target the principal has not written
- Must not say the Workplace Gender Equality Act requires this statement

**The lawyer checks:**

- The statement is voluntary, and a new link is supplied every year
- Sharing the Executive Summary and the Industry Benchmark Report with the governing body is treated as the reporting obligation the guide describes, separately from this statement
- The link is uploaded to the reporting portal one week before publication, on the date the Agency has notified
