In brief:

It has been almost 40 years since The Equal Pay Act came into force in the UK, but there is still significant inequality between men’s and women’s pay. Last year 58,513 equal pay claims were brought to employment tribunals (more than double the number brought in the previous year) and numbers continue to rise. Women working full time earn on average 17% less per hour than men and for ethnic minority women the gap is even higher at 20%. These headline figures represent a lifetime of pay discrimination for women.

Pay is one of the key factors affecting motivation and relationships at work. In this challenging economic climate it is more essential than ever for employers to ensure their remuneration policy is fair, consistent and ensures staff are rewarded for their contribution in order for key talent to be retained.

JSB’s Equal Pay: Law and Best Practice conference will enable employers to eliminate risk of claims and enhance corporate reputation. The importance of regular pay system reviews will be realised and practical guidance provided to build and maintain a robust fair pay system which stands up to scrutiny and avoids equal pay claims. Equal pay is a fundamental right! With the forthcoming Equality Bill, now is the time to act to close the gender pay gap.
