Equal pay

It is unlawful under the Equal Pay Act 1970 to offer different pay and conditions where women and men are doing the same or comparable work – this extends from basic pay to other contractual conditions, including hours of work, bonuses, pensions etc.

It is also unlawful to offer unequal pay for work of equal value in terms of demands made on the employee - for instance on effort, skill and decision making. This applies even where two posts look apparently dissimilar.
