Asda equal pay FAQs

Despite doing jobs of equal value, Asda pays its store staff as much as £3 an hour less than its distribution centre staff. Lawyers claim this is a breach of the Equality Act 2010, which states that employers must pay employees in comparable roles equally.

No. While the supermarket giant paid its (predominantly male) warehouse staff more than its (predominantly female) store workers, both men and women can join the Asda equal pay claim as long as they meet the eligibility criteria.

Yes. If you have worked at an Asda store in England or Wales at any time in the last six years, you may be eligible to make an Asda equal pay claim.

No. An employer cannot fire you, or treat you any differently for joining the claim. Asda would be breaking the law if it did.

If you are currently working or have previously worked at an Asda store in England or Wales at any time in the last six years, you may qualify to make an Asda equal pay claim.

We cannot say how much compensation you might get if you win your Asda equal pay claim. However most claimants are seeking over £5,000. Legal experts believe that Asda owes many current and former store workers thousands of pounds in equal pay compensation.

In the UK, if a group of people have experienced loss, or otherwise been harmed by an organisation’s law breaking, they can come together to fight for justice. Levelling the playing field when standing up to big businesses, group actions prove that there is strength in numbers. At Join the Claim, we bring consumers and law firms together to ensure these group actions are as powerful as possible.

You will only have to pay anything if you win. You will not have to pay anything up front. Any payment would only come out of the money that the law firm recovers from Asda on your behalf. They will conduct the litigation for you under a no win no fee agreement.
