If you think you are not receiving equal pay at work, your might have a discrimination claim against your employer. Our employment solicitors will tell you if you have a claim.
The Equal Pay Act was passed in 1970 and it made it illegal to treat men and women differently based on their gender.
Broadly speaking, male and female employees must be treated equally or equivalently for equal work.
If you think you are being underpaid or treated unfairly in comparison to others, and you think this is simply because of your gender, talk to Tees. Our specialist employment law team will tell you if you have a case for discrimination, and help you assert your rights at work. If you feel you are being unfairly treated differently for a reason other than your gender, you may still have a claim under other legislation. Our expeerts can advise you on your rights and options that might be available to you.
If you feel unfairly treated at work, you have options. These include:
We know that you might feel nervous about talking to a solicitor, especially about your employer.
As you’d expect, our specialist employment team are experts in all aspects of employment law. However, they’re also approachable and easy to talk to. So, we can advise you what action you can take to ensure that you’re treated fairly. If you want us to, we can talk to your employer for you and we can take legal action on your behalf if that doesn’t work.
We’ll listen carefully to what’s happened to you and get a full understanding of your situation. Then, using our knowledge of the law, we’ll explain where you stand and what your options are.

We’ll work efficiently and quickly and we’ll keep you fully informed of our progress, using email, phone calls and letters, so you’ll only need to come into our office to see us if you want to.
