Equality of Terms
Published in:
Employment Law
The Equality Act 2010 repealed the Equal Pay Act (EPA) 1970. In respect of the equal pay provisions, very little has changed, and thus it is likely that existing case law is applicable under the 2010 provisions. There is a difference in the title of the provisions, though. The Equality Act 2010 refers to equality of terms rather than equal pay. In reality, however, the Equal Pay Act 1970 covered contractual terms, and thus the heading ‘equality of terms’ is more apt.
