It is unlawful for an employer to treat you badly or dismiss you for bringing or joining an equal pay claim

Why the difference?

Store workers are often paid less than warehouse workers for work that we believe is of equal value. If you work, or recently worked, in an hourly-paid store role at Asda, Sainsbury's or Morrisons in England, Wales or Scotland, you may be able to bring an equal pay claim.

Check if you can claim

If your claim succeeds, Harcus Parker charges a fee of 24% + VAT of the money you recover, set out in full before you sign. Outcomes depend on your individual circumstances.

If you cancel within 14 days, Harcus Parker can charge for work already done at your request. If you end your claim after that, you may have to pay a share of legal fees and costs. The full terms are in the engagement letter you’ll see before you sign.

The work

Same work. Same value. Not the same pay.

Supermarkets pay their warehouse staff, mostly men, more than their shop-floor staff, who are mostly women. The law says if the work is of equal value, the pay should be too.

Shop floor

Mostly women

Serving customers, stocking shelves and running the tills, on your feet all shift.

Same value
Same pay

Warehouse

Mostly men

Picking, packing and moving stock around the depot.

If a tribunal agrees the roles are of equal value, the difference in pay may be recovered as back pay. Back pay, where a claim succeeds, is generally limited to up to six years. What any claim is worth depends on your individual circumstances and is assessed by the tribunal; no outcome is guaranteed.

Your options

You do not need paid representation to bring an equal pay claim. You can raise the issue directly with your employer, contact Acas for free early conciliation, or bring a claim to an employment tribunal yourself. A claim made through a claims management company or solicitor may not necessarily be resolved more quickly, or with a better prospect of success.
