Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) 3

Can I be disciplined or victimised for pursuing an equal pay claim?

No, definitely not - not least because any employer foolish enough to behave in that way would leave themselves wide open to a separate claim for victimisation.

The damages for a successful victimisation claim are unlimited - the sky's the limit when it comes to financial compensation in such cases.

So, even the worst employers are afraid to dig an even deeper hole for themselves by giving their employees a hard time - especially when all that people are doing is enforcing their legal rights to equal pay and fair treatment at the workplace.
