Title: Sexual Identity, Disclosure and Pay Gaps in the National Health Service
Abstract: Studies investigating the relationship between sexual identity and pay have increased in number and scope over the last three decades, enabling a greater understanding of the outcomes facing non-heterosexuals in the labour market. Pay gap studies that also allow for the disclosure of sexual identity in the workplace are, however, very rare. Using a rich survey of employees from the National Health Service in England, we consider the relationship between relative pay, LGB identity and disclosure, for both men and women. Whilst the results reveal substantial heterogeneity within the LGB, we find that disclosure is related to more favourable pay treatment for LGB employees (men or women), especially so for men.
