Equal Pay Questionnaire

The Act will introduce an equal pay questionnaire in employment tribunal equal pay cases.

  • Equal pay cases are notoriously slow and complex. A questionnaire will make it easier for individuals to request key information from their employer when they are deciding whether to bring a case; and will help simplify and speed up the tribunal process benefiting both employers and employees. This could lead to settlement or resolution in some cases.
     
  • It is estimated that the introduction of the questionnaire procedure will result in a 10% reduction in applications, ie. a reduction of 240 applications per year.
