Same job. Same shift. But different pay?
In workplaces across the UK, people doing similar jobs are being paid very differently. Sometimes it’s down to seniority or qualifications. But sometimes, it’s something more serious – and potentially unlawful.
That’s why we’ve created a new guide: Same store, same shift – less pay?
It’s written for workers like you – in supermarkets, retail, and beyond – who want to understand their rights and make sure they’re being paid fairly.
What’s inside the guide?
We break down:
- What “fair pay for fair work” actually means
- When unequal pay is unlawful under UK employment law
- Why men can also make equal pay claims
- How to spot unfair pay practices in your workplace
- What rights you have as a worker
- What steps to take if something doesn’t feel right
- How group claims are helping workers get compensation
- Real-world examples of people challenging unfair pay – and winning
Whether you’ve spotted a pay gap or just want to be better informed, this guide is here to help you take the next step.
Why this matters
Unequal pay sends the message that your work matters less. Over time, it can affect your finances, wellbeing, and job security. And in many cases, it’s also illegal.
If you’ve ever wondered whether you’re being underpaid compared to colleagues – especially in different departments or roles – this guide can help you make sense of it all, and take action if needed.
Alternatively, you can find out more about live equal pay claims you might be eligible to join on our website.
