Among men and women who work completely remotely, there is a 25% pay gap favoring men, according to a new report from Owl Labs about remote works role in the gender pay gap. Owl Labs surveyed 2,018 U.S. workers who worked both from home and at the office to see the pay disparities between male and female workers who always, sometimes, and never worked remotely.In general, respondents both male and female who work remotely full-time or sometimes, are more likely to earn over $100,000 than respondents who never work remotely.

Theyre 124% more likely than male individual contributors who never work remotely and 58% more likely than male individual contributors who sometimes work remotely to earn $100,000 or more.For women, the individual contributor who sometimes works remotely is most likely to earn more than $100,000, perhaps indicating the need for women to have face time in the office if they want to earn more.For women managers, the need for face time is made abundantly clear female managers who work remotely full-time are 16% less likely to earn $100,000 or more than female managers who never work remotely.Male managers, on the other hand, can afford to be out of the office.
