Equal Pay Explained

The law regarding equal pay is in principal very basic and straightforward. It simply states that men and women should receive equal pay regardless of gender. Unfortunately, aspects of the legislation and much of the case law have succeeded in complicating and at times confusing this otherwise simple doctrine. However, it is possible and relatively simple for a person to bring a claim under the Equal Pay Act if they feel that are unjustly penalised due to their sex.
