Talking Employment Law: Asda workers a step closer to a £1.2 billion equal pay claim

Asda workers fighting for equal pay have advanced to the final stage in their legal battle, as the employment tribunal ruled that the majority of claimants working in retail roles in Asda supermarkets were doing work of equal value to their counterparts working in distribution centres.

In the latest podcast of the ‘Talking Employment Law’ series, Louise Keenan and Shauna Jones, members of the employment team at Clarkslegal, will discuss the recent Asda equal pay decision, which has been attracting a lot of attention.

In the podcast, they will cover the following topics:

  • An overview of equal pay law
  • Details of the Asda case
  • A look at other important equal pay claims within the retail sector

If you would like advice on your payment practices to ensure compliance with Equal Pay legislation, please feel free to contact our employment law team who can review and assist you in meeting your legal obligations.
