Change of Contract
A number of readers have been in touch recently about changes that are being made to their jobs - for one reason or another. What they want to know is - "How do these changes affect my equal pay claim?"
So, here's an exchange of e-mails with one reader that helps to explain the situation - the general rule is - if in doubt, always register a new claim.
Dear Colleague
The council may treat your change to a new job as a change of contract - in which case all you need to do is to take out a new claim in your new post.
Your existing claim will continue, but it may freeze at the point your new contract kicks in - so the safe and sensible thing to do is to register a new claim at that point - then both jobs are covered.
Kind regards
Mark
