Frequently Asked Questions



A frequently asked question (FAQ) that has become topical again in relation to equal pay is:

"I haven't actually registered an Equal Pay claim, but I've been told that in the event of a settlement with my employer that I've nothing to worry about - because I'll get the very same settlement as everyone else."

"Is this correct?"

NO! - definitely, absolutely not - and there's not been a Council employer in Scotland which has made 'voluntary' settlement payments to employees who do not have a claim registered with the Employment Tribunals.  

Now I know that the trade unions have given this 'duff' advice to their members at times - but this advice is completely wrong - and lots of people have lost out as a result

So, if you're in any doubt register a claim - because that's the only way to protect your interests.
