Equal Pay Claims

 

Equal Pay and the Equal Pay Act 1970
The Equal Pay Act 1970 (EPA) provides employees with the right to equal pay when compared with employees of the opposite gender. The employee of the opposite gender being compared (i.e. the 'comparitor') must be an employee who is either working in the same premises/branch or at least working at a different branch for the same employer within Great Britain.
 

The employee alleging unequal pay must prove that they are employed in ‘like work’ (i.e. work that is the same or broadly similar to that of the comparator) or in work which has been rated as equivalent in a job evaluation study to that of the comparator, or in work which is of equal value to that of the comparator in terms of, for example, decision making, effort, and skill.

To successfully defend an equal pay claim, the employer needs to show that:-

  • The work is not like work, not rated as equal, and not of equal value;

     

    or prove that

  • The difference in pay between the claimant and the comparitor is attributable to a reason unrelated to the gender of the two and that that reason justifies the difference in pay
