Pay Justice
We are experts in claiming fair and equal pay
Pay Justice was formed in 2012 by a group of experts in fair pay matters. We believe the current UK gender pay gap is wrong. The aim of Pay Justice is to provide information, expertise and resources which can help people who are affected by unequal pay to claim their rights. We work in partnership with Leigh Day solicitors to help bring your equal pay case to fruition.

One of my main goals is to empower employees by making them aware of their legal entailment. In order to overcome the many barriers I use my expertise in online marketing to make the law as accessible and user friendly as I can.

Leigh Day
Recently, our Asda clients won a major victory in the Employment Tribunal when the Employment Judge ruled that store worker jobs can indeed be compared to the jobs of those working in the distribution centres.
Linda Wong (14th Oct 2016) Leigh Day, Solicitor on the Sainsbury's Equal Pay Claim
The similarities between the Sainsbury’s and Asda equal pay claims means that our case against Sainsbury’s has been strengthened by this recent Tribunal judgment. The favourable decision in Asda reinforces our argument that store and distribution centre jobs within Sainsbury’s are also comparable, and that store workers therefore deserve equal pay.
What Do Union Representatives Say?
“It is important to sign up because a claim is only one of a small number of routes to equal pay. There is strength in numbers for change through a claim. You have nothing to lose putting in a claim and everything to gain.
More than twenty five years ago there was an equal pay claim in the company and this led to shockwaves throughout retail. It started in our company.
If you are a non-RGS colleague or a night shift worker and you had someone from distribution working on your backdoor wouldn't you think it unfair if they were getting paid more for doing work of equal value? Wouldn't you want to find out for sure? If it eventually turned out an employment tribunal decided there was unlawful sex discrimination, is it so unreasonable to say you might want to get paid the same as those men in distribution?”
