Have you lost out due to Tesco’s alleged equal pay failings?

If so, Join the Claim to get the justice and compensation you deserve.

Tesco is under fire for not paying its staff fairly, with distribution centre employees pocketing up to £3 more per hour than store workers. Affected Tesco store workers could be owed thousands of pounds in compensation each, and we are helping them in their fight for equal pay for equal work.

Are you eligible to join the Tesco equal pay compensation claim?

  • Are you currently employed as a Tesco store worker and get paid an hourly rate?

  • Have you been employed as a Tesco store worker in the last 6 years and were paid an hourly rate?

If you answered yes to either of the above, you could have a NO-WIN, NO- FEE Tesco compensation claim.  Join the thousands of Tesco staff who are standing up for their rights and seeking the justice they deserve. 

If you have a claim, and you want to go ahead, sign up and we’ll connect you with KP Law, a legal firm running a Tesco equal pay group action.  

Who is KP Law?

In this case, we are working with KP Law, a regulated law firm running a Tesco equal pay group action claim.

Tesco has been paying its distribution centre staff (who are predominantly male) up to £3 per hour more than their employees working on the shop floor (who are mostly women). “We believe that customer facing work should be viewed as equal to the work undertaken behind the scenes and that the remuneration should therefore be the same, regardless of gender. The current disparity is unlawful, and we estimate that each claimant could be entitled to thousands of pounds in backdated pay. Tesco employees who have worked in its retail stores in England and Wales in the past six years could be entitled to substantial backpay.

  • June 2021

    EU judges sided with Tesco workers after a UK tribunal sought guidance from the European Court of Justice in this matter. Supermarket bosses had argued that an EU law defining equal pay for work of equal value was not directly applicable in this case, but the EU judges disagreed.

    KP Law filed equal pay claims against Tesco following the European Union’s highest court ruling in June that EU Law could be applied to UK businesses. Representing nearly 10,000 claimants, the firm argued that affected workers were entitled to backdated equal pay in line with the hourly rate given to their male distribution centre colleagues. 

  • February 2022

    KP Law filed a further equal pay claim against Tesco on behalf of almost 2,000 employees for failing to pay its store workers a comparable wage to employees working in its distribution centres.

We’ll provide more updates on the fight for justice in the Tesco equal pay case as they occur.

Tesco equal pay FAQs

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.  

Yes. If you have worked at a Tesco store in England or Wales at any time in the last six years, you may qualify for a Tesco equal pay claim. 

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

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 how much compensation you might get if you win your Tesco equal pay case. Each claim is based on its merits and your solicitor will work to get the compensation owed to you. However, we believe that Tesco owes many current and former store workers thousands of pounds in equal pay compensation.
