EMPLOYMENT LAW SPECIALISTS

Experts In Equal Pay Claims Walsall

If you have been adversely treated by an employer by receiving a wage which is fundamentally different from that of another person doing the same or broadly similar work to you, it is likely that you will be entitled to bring a claim under The Equality Act 2010. This claim usually applies where someone of different sex is paid a lower wage than the other as a consequence of "pay discrimination".


In Order To Find Out If There Is A Disparity You Will Require Evidence Which Might Be Obtained By Reference To:


  • Salary questionnaires
  • Evidence from a "comparator"
  • Job adverts


To bring a claim you will need to identify a "comparator" and then the burden will shift to the employer who will need to prove that the reason for any disparity is not a consequence of gender. If you are unable to point to an actual comparator it might still be possible to bring a claim for sex discrimination under the Act.


The time limit for bringing a claim is longer than the usual 3 months as you are able to bring a claim at any time whilst still employed, or within 6 months of the end of the employment.


However, given the complexity of this area of law, if you are concerned that you might suffered or are suffering "pay discrimination" then you will need to contact an expert for advice on your rights.

FAQ'S

  • What are the benefits of a settlement agreement?

    It provides a clean amicable break between both parties, a sum of money to help with moving on and a job reference.

  • Why do I need a employment law solicitor?

    Employment Law is complex, therefore having a solicitor to help guide you through the process as smoothly as possible.

  • What are the time limits for making an unfair dismissal claim?

    Usually the claim will need to be made within 3 months of the "effective date of termination"

  • Can I be made redundant while I’m pregnant?

    You can’t be made redundant because you are pregnant. However if other redundancys are made and you are selected for reasons not regarding your pregnancy you can be made redundant.

  • What is a Employment Tribunal?

    It can be less formal than court and is a way to settle employment disputes. 

  • When should I get my contract of employment?

    You are entitled to a Contract of Employment from your first day of Employment.

  • Is it illegal for employment contracts not to include maternity/paternity leave?

    Your employment contract does not have to set out your rights to maternity/paternity leave.
