Employment Tribunal - Equal Pay

sacherlover

I believe that I have a case for Equal Pay.

As the company claimed to have spent months creating a new grading structure and the other people on my grade are being paid up to 50% more than me it was suggested that I should claim under the Work Rated as Equivalent Value.

However this talks a lot about Job Evaluation Schemes. What is to stop the company saying that this new grading was not a Job Evaluation Scheme?

Unfortunately I am not in a Union and having now been unemployed for some months, £65.45 per week is not going to pay for Solicitors.

I am perfectly prepared to represent myself, however some advice and guidance at this initial stage would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

I'm helping someone through this too but unlawful dismissal.

I would pay for 1 hour for legal advice to find out your strength case wise, then decide from their before you send a claim form in.

Then if strong, represent yourself.

Legal aid is a joke anyway, takes months to get 1 hour and that is not good enough, and too late for the claim form.
