Equal pay claims

6 November 2025 | Legal Support and Advice for Employees |

Your employer cannot pay you less than a colleague purely based on your gender. If you believe you are being paid less that a colleague of the opposite sex who is doing the same work of equal value, you may have a claim for discrimination under the Equality Act 2010.

Our employment lawyers can advise you on how to proceed, including your rights to know the terms of employment of colleagues in a comparable role. We can offer mediation with your employer to find a fair resolution, or support you in making an Employment Tribunal claim if this is the best or only option to achieve a positive outcome.
