describes how the sex equality clause, implied into every contract of employment, works.
discusses the rules governing the comparison that has to be made in order to get an equal pay claim off the ground
considers the application of the ‘material factor’ defence, by which an employer can avoid liability if it can show that any pay differential was due to non-discriminatory factors.
deals with the enforcement of equal pay claims in both employment tribunals and the civil courts.
covers the rules on gender pay gap reporting and equal pay audits, explaining their impact on employers.
