Tesco has been accused of paying its distribution centre employees as much as £3 an hour more than its store staff. Under the Equality Act 2010, employers must pay employees in comparable roles equally. However, lawyers believe that Tesco failed to do this. Instead, the supermarket giant paid its (predominantly male) warehouse staff more than its (predominantly female) store workers.
No. While it is likely that the difference in pay is due to gender, both men and women can join the Tesco equal pay claim as long as they meet the eligibility criteria.

If you are currently working or have previously worked at a Tesco store in England or Wales at any time in the last six years, you may qualify to make a Tesco equal pay claim.
We cannot say exactly how much compensation you might get if you win your Tesco equal pay case, although, most claimants are seeking over £5,000, with some claims potentially reaching upwards of £24,000. Each claim is based on its merits and your solicitor will work to get the compensation owed to you. However, lawyers believe that Tesco 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.
