Why Glasgow's WPBR Sucks (7)
WCD has 6 levels from Level 0 (which attracts no payment whatsoever) to Level 5 which attracts the highest payment.
Level 0 - has 23% Men and 77% Women (0 to 44 points)
Level 1 - has 26% Men and 74% Women (45 to 54 points)
Level 2 - has 51% Men and 49% Women (55 to 63 points)
Level 3 - has 93% Men and 07% Women (64 to 72 points)
Level 4 - has 100% Men and 0% Women (73 to 79 points)
Level 5 - has 100% Men and 0% Women (80 points plus)
The position can be summarised as follows:
- The highest concentration of women is to be found at WCD Level 0 which attracts a zero payment.
- Women also dominate Level 1 which attracts the lowest level of WCD payment.
- Traditional male jobs dominate Levels 2, 3, 4 and 5 despite the fact that men make up only 30% of the workforce.
- Each WCD Level is awarded points and the points are worth money - except in the case of Level 0 which attracts no monetary reward.
- Level 0 has from 0 to 44 points, but these points do not get added to an employee's initial WPBR Grade even though the extra points would make a difference to some of the claimants' grades and Core Pay.
- The strange banding of points has clearly been designed to favour male dominated jobs - the first Level 0 band is 'up to 44 points' yet all the others have much shorter 'steps'.
