Equal Pay Solicitors

Guidance and Support in Wage Disputes

In a world where fairness and equality should be the norm, wage disputes still surface. If you're grappling with queries about equal pay or facing a wage dispute with your employer, our friendly team at Aticus Law is here to help.

The spotlight on equal pay and wage disputes has grown brighter with the increased focus on gender pay gap transparency. Our expert solicitors are ready to help you negotiate with your employer. We'll ensure you receive equal pay and can assist in bringing an equal pay claim under the Equality Act 2010.

Do I Have an Equal Pay Claim?

Wage disputes often arise when an employee discovers they're being paid less than a colleague doing the same or a similar role. If the colleague is of the opposite sex, it might pave the way for an equal pay claim.

You may have a claim for equal pay if:

1. An employee of the opposite sex earns more than you,
2. This employee performs the same or broadly similar work as you, and
3. There's no reasonable explanation for this pay difference.

If all these criteria are met, the employment tribunal will likely consider this as a case of discrimination based on your sex.

Can I Receive Compensation?

If the employment tribunal rules in your favour, you could recover the difference in wages dating back over the past six years. Going forward, your employer must not discriminate against you because of your sex and should pay you fairly.
