Equal pay

Equal pay is the employment law hot topic of the noughties and it doesn't just affect the public sector.

We are presently assisting local authorities and private sector employers in defending hundreds of equal pay claims. They are complex and time-consuming for managers to handle and many involve pay and benefits dating back years with little or no documentation available.

We are also asked to help employers undertake equal pay audits and generally health check their remuneration packages to ensure they are Equality proof.

Our tried and tested equal pay case management system provides the comfort of knowing that claims are being handled professionally and consistently. In-house teams are able to dip in and out of the cases as much as their time commitments allow and this in turn provides an invaluable opportunity to upskill for the future.

The "thorough, capable and professional" team at Veale Wasbrough Vizards has seen an increase in litigation work in the last year, including defending and obtaining injunctions. Sources describe a group of "serious solicitors who do a seriously good job." Recent work includes advising Bournemouth Borough Council on mass equal pay claims." Chambers & Partners.
