One of the basic fundamental right of the employees is that they are entitled for getting the equal
pay as others for the same role and responsibilities in the work. The employment rights act 2010
gives the rights to the employee for not getting discriminated by the gender of the employee and
there are a lot of acts which gets cover under Employment Act and one of the vital act is the
Equality Act 2010 in which the provision of equal pay in the UK have been set out in the same
which has replaced the Equal pay act 1970 and the sex discrimination act 1975 along with the
Pension act 1995.
In this provision this act has been introduced to reduce and narrow the gap between the men and
women and they should get paid similar amount for the same role despite the fact whether the
employee is a male or female. Under “like work for like pay” which refers the “equal pay for equal
work” comes under the Equality Act 2010 which conclude that no employee shall be paid less than
someone of the opposite sex having the same responsibility and role for the job. The provision on
equal pay are throughout the act under Equality of terms which has been bought in together in the
statutory code of practice produce by the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) which
explain the statutory obligations imposed upon the employer under this act which is also related to
the equal pay between men and women.
