Corrs Chambers Westgarth, a prominent law firm in Australia, has been marked by the Workplace Gender Equality Agency as having the highest gap between male and female pay among significant Australian law firms. Data released by the agency puts Corrs’ median gender pay gap at 22.2%; that is, in terms of a dollar earned by a man at the firm, a woman earns approximately 77.8 cents.
Furthermore, when factors such as bonuses and overtime pay are included, the median gender pay gap stands at 19%. This marks the first release of pay gap data by the Workplace Gender Equality Agency, with inadequate information available due to the article being paywalled.
