The Equality Act 2010 aimed to bring pay transparency to larger employers. The public sector has a duty to report on equality issues, including pay and gender statistics. For private companies, ‘secrecy clauses’, which prevent employees from discussing their pay with their colleagues, are no longer enforceable.
If you have a gender pay gap, now is a good time to address it. Otherwise you could have be facing an even larger gap in your company's finances from multiple equal pay claims - and a hole in your reputation as an employer.
Our team has extensive experience of handling the 'sharp end' of pay equality issues for our clients. We provide pragmatic commercially-focused advice designed to keep you safe from legal challenge. We can give you step-by-step guidance on the right equal pay policy for your organisation: analysing your pay scheme, assessing the risks and advising on a new pay structure.
If you’re already facing an equal pay claim, we can manage that for you too. Such claims can be uniquely complex, costly and time-consuming, especially for large employers. We provide a tailored, innovative approach to your defence, from document preparation to navigating the employment tribunal procedures and providing you with expert advice on the complex legal issues.
Equal pay is now a central employment issue. Our expert team can help you get it right before the worst happens ensuring your finances and your reputation stay equally safe.
