Testimonials
What does ‘equal pay for equal work’ mean?
Under the Equality Act 2010, men and women are entitled to receive equal pay for equal work. Equal work can be:
- Like work, i.e. work which involves similar skills, tasks and responsibilities;
- Equivalent work, i.e. work which is found to be of equal value on analysis;
- Equally valuable work, i.e. work which is not similar or equivalent, but has been found to be of equal value in terms of output and techniques used
“Equal pay” refers to the entire pay and benefits package. Beyond basic pay, this may include:
- Access to pensions schemes and any associated benefits;
- Bonuses and performance-dependent benefits;
- Hours of work, holiday allowance and breaks;
- Perks such as company cars, health insurance and gym memberships;
- Severance and redundancy pay.
