We've had a number of enquiries recently along the lines of: "What's the hurry about making an equal pay claim - why don't I just wait and see what happens with Single Status?"
Well the straight answer to that question is that people have been waiting for the past 10 years - and you are losing money hand over fist by just sitting tight and doing nothing.
You can claim up to 6 years in back pay with an equal pay claim - but the clock only starts once your claim has been registered with the employment tribunals - so every day you delay is a day that you can't claim back again.
Also, once your claim is registered - you start adding on time going forward - i.e. in addition to the 6 years back pay - so if it takes another 18 months to sort out, at least you have added that 18 months on to your claim.
Bottom line is that if you don't submit an equal pay claim - you're not at the races.
