YOU COULD BE ENTITLED TO COMPENSATON

Who can make an equal pay claim?

Equal pay claims can be made by both women and men. The key requirement is that the claimant must demonstrate that they are being paid less than a person of the opposite gender who is engaged in the same or substantially similar work. This means that anyone who believes they are experiencing unequal pay due to gender discrimination can potentially bring forward a claim to challenge the disparity.

What are the stages of an equal pay claim?

The process for making an equal pay claim is quite involved, which is why working with our team at Claims Bible can make things easier for you. Here’s how it works:

Initial Assessment

The first stage involves assessing the claimant’s case and gathering relevant information, such as job descriptions, employment contracts, and evidence of pay disparities.

Internal Resolution

Before commencing legal proceedings, it is usually advisable to attempt resolving the issue internally. This may involve engaging in discussions with the employer or using the company’s grievance procedures.

How to calculate an equal pay claim?

Calculating an equal pay claim involves determining the difference in pay between the claimant and the comparator. As these claims are established on a case-by-case basis, it’s important to look at your specific circumstances when calculating equal pay claims. To do this, we’ll work with you to create a strong case that demonstrates unequal pay. Our process for calculating your equal pay claim uses several key steps which include:

Establishing a Comparator

A comparator is a person of the opposite gender who performs the same or similar work to the claimant. The comparator should be identified based on factors such as job role, skill level, responsibilities, and working conditions.

Gathering Pay Information

Pay information for both the claimant and the comparator should be collected. This includes salary, bonuses, overtime payments, and other elements of remuneration.

Assessing Equal Value

The next step is to determine if the work being compared is of equal value. This involves examining factors such as effort, skill, responsibility, and the level of demand required for the job.
