What Happens If?
A number of readers have been in touch to ask:
"What happens if I leave my job with the council - do I lose my equal pay claim?"
"What happens if I leave my job with the council - do I lose my equal pay claim?"
No, definitely not - is the simple answer.
All that happens is that your claim freezes on the last day of your employment - because you cannot continue adding time onto your ex-employee of the council.
So, if your employment ends for any reason - due to retirement, redundancy or because you simply decide to move on to pastures new - your claim still continues with all the rest.
For example, if your claim has accumulated 8 years and 10 months at that point - then that remains the basis of your claim against your former employer.
