A permanent increase in your wages and up to six years' backpay for the discrimination you have suffered... typical claims range from £6,000 to £20,000+

How much will I get?

The office of National Statistics tells us that the average weekly wage for women was £387pw in 2006. This equates to £20,124 per annum. The Equal opportunities commission estimates there is currently a 17% pay differential between men and women for similar work.  17% of £20,124 is £3421 pa. Any successful claimant can claim six years back pay so that's £20,526 per claimant.

Am I eligible?
To pursue a claim you need to point to a male member of staff doing equivalent work for better pay or conditions. This may require a workplace assessment. Common examples are dinner ladies and bin men.

What do I have to do?
Just register a claim with us. We will do the rest. If your case is accepted it will be guaranteed on a No Win No Fee basis.

Have an equal pay question?
Some local authorities and other public bodies are entering into cosy deals with trade unions to reach agreements which actively deprive staff what they are due in law.

The law says you are entitled to:

• equal pay for work of equal value
• that the local authority or public body shall have conducted a job assessment and made certain all employees are paid equal pay for equal work by 31st March 2007 granting employees they have discriminated against an immediate and substantial pay rise
• that these workers should have been compensated for the six years' back-pay you have missed and be paid up in full.

If you haven't had your equal pay compensation cheque yet -- which might amount to several thousand pounds -- you should contact equalpaylawyer.co.uk to see if we can make an equal pay claim on your behalf. Or call us now on 0800 037 1066...

Some  bosses are claiming they don't have the money and that deals must be negotiated with the result being that the poorest, hardest working members of their workforce are deprived what they are due.

Private sector and Local authorities have a duty to pay men and women equally. equalpaylawyer.co.uk may be able to get you an automatic pay rise and parity with others and back pay for the wages you have lost as a result of discrimination over the last six years.

Do you trust your union to make a claim on your behalf?
For more than thirty years a cosy relationship between the trade unions and councils ensured that some workers in low paid jobs suffered pay discrimination. A recent employment tribunal concluded that: "the [GMB] union collaborated with them [the council] in such a way that it applied practices which manipulated the members who had back pay claims into unwittingly sacrificing their rights to the benefit of other members and the council..."
