If the Morrisons equal pay claim wins, thousands of current and former store workers will receive compensation for being underpaid. If you’ve worked in a Morrisons store, you might be eligible to join the claim. Here’s what you need to know:
1. The claim is about fairness
Store workers at Morrisons believe they’ve been unfairly paid less than those in the supermarket’s distribution centres, despite their work being of equal value. The legal challenge aims to correct this imbalance and ensure fair pay for all.
2. You don’t have to be a woman to join the Morrisons equal pay claim
Although the majority of claimants are women, men who have worked in Morrisons stores can also join. The key issue is whether your work is comparable to that of higher-paid distribution centre workers, not your gender.
3. You can claim even if you no longer work at Morrisons
If you’ve worked in a Morrisons store in the last six years, you could still be eligible to claim – even if you’ve since moved on to another job.
4. The claim covers thousands of Morrisons supermarket workers
This is one of the biggest equal pay cases in the UK. Thousands of Morrisons store workers are already part of the legal action, and more are joining as awareness grows.
5. The Morrisons supermarket lawsuit is moving forward
In a significant development for supermarket store workers, the Morrisons equal pay case has taken a major step forward. An Employment Tribunal has agreed finalised job descriptions for Morrisons shop and warehouse workers. Independent experts will now examine the tasks undertaken by staff to see whether the roles are comparable. Find out more here.
6. It’s a ‘no win, no fee’ claim
You won’t have to pay anything upfront to join the Morrisons equal; pay claim. If the claim is successful, an agreed percentage of your compensation will go towards legal fees. If it’s unsuccessful, you won’t owe a penny.
7. You won’t be fired for joining the claim
It’s illegal for Morrisons to dismiss or penalise employees for asserting their legal rights. Thousands of workers have joined without issue, so your job is safe.
8. Winning could mean thousands in back pay
If the claim is successful, you could be entitled to back pay for the unfair pay difference, which could add up to thousands of pounds per worker. Your payout could increase for every hour worked from the day you join until the case concludes. So, sign up now to ensure the maximum payout possible.
9. You can claim against more than one supermarket
If you’ve worked for multiple supermarkets, you may be eligible to join more than one equal pay claim. Each claim is assessed separately, so you don’t have to choose just one. Find out more about the other supermarket equal pay claims here.
