Edinburgh - New Claims
Edinburgh City Council has failed to meet its own self-imposed deadline of 1 April 2008 - for implementing a new pay and grading structure - based on a non-discriminatory job evaluation (JE) scheme.
The council originally agreed to do this back in 1999 - so goodness only knows when they might finally get round to dealing with a situation they've failed to tackle all these years.
Another problem for the council is that everyone who was offered an interim settlement by the council can now register a new claim - because the Compromise Agreement people had to sign to get their money expired on 31 March 2008.
So, from 1 April 2008 onwards all of these individuals have a new claim - for a long as the pay gap continues.
Action 4 Equality and Stefan Cross have issued new claim forms to all existing Edinburgh clients. If you would like a form please ring 0845 300 3 800 or leave your name, address and post code with Mark Irvine at: markirvine@compuserve.com
NB
All other Edinburgh claims are still working their way through the Employment Tribunal process - a 5 day hearing took place at the end of June and another 5 days is scheduled for 25 - 29 August 2008.
