Equal pay rights
Article Abstract:
The Equal Pay Act came into force in 1970, but a recent survey by the Equal Opportunities Commission still found differences between the average earnings of men and women. The law is extremely complex and there are often problems proving 'equal work'. A recently introduced Code of Practice on Equal Pay has extended the effectiveness of equal pay legislation, and a recent Employment Appeal Tribunal decision has reinforced this.
