South Lanarkshire Council
A Pre-Hearing Review (PHR) involving South Lanarkshire Council was scheduled to start on Monday 12 January 2009.
The PHR has been postponed and instead there will now be a Case Management Discussion (CMD) on that day - followed by a further CMD on Monday 26 January 2009.
Stefan Cross Solicitors has now instructed an Equal Pay Expert to consider South Lanarkshire's job evaluation (JE) scheme.
We have reported previously on the various deficiencies that we see in the JE scheme - and its failure to address the big pay differences between traditional male and female jobs.
South Lanarkshire Council is still refusing to release crucial pay information - of the kind that every other council in Scotland was required to divulge long ago - their reluctance to be open and transparent suggests that the council has got a lot to hide.
Individual claimants are entitled to attend the CMD hearings - both of which are being held at the Employment Tribunal offices in Glasgow. The CMD on 12 January starts at 2pm and the CMD on 26 January is scheduled to begin at 10am.
Action 4 Equality Scotland is planning a number of meetings in South Lanarkshire later in January to report back on what has been happening over the past few months - details of these meetings will be posted on the blog site next week.
