Statement from the Chief Executive
The mean gender pay gap for Heart of Midlothian Football Club has been calculated at 43.08%. This is a direct result of the highest paid people within the organisation being male footballers. The median average, which is less affected by extreme values, presents a zero pay gap, demonstrating pay equality.
The mean gender bonus gap is 49.13% as this includes footballer bonus payments.
The quartile analysis shows that the biggest gap is within the upper quartile, which is expected when including footballer salaries.
I confirm the data reported is accurate.
Ann Budge
Chief Executive
