Following last year’s ‘Modern Workplaces’ consultation, the government has announced that it intends to require employers who lose equal pay claims to carry out and publish equal pay audits.
The proposals mean that an Employment Tribunal would be obliged to order an employer to conduct a pay audit where it is found that an employer has discriminated on grounds of sex in contractual or non-contractual pay. Micro businesses will initially be exempt from the proposals.
A further consultation later this year will determine the exact content of the audit and the publication requirements. The introduction of such audits may encourage employers to settle equal pay claims where they wouldn’t otherwise have considered doing so, and this will need to be considered when the legislation is implemented.

We previously reported on the High Court decision of S Franses Ltd v The Cavendish Hotel (London) Ltd in which it was held that a landlord’s motive could not prevent it from successfully utilising ‘ground (f)’ under s30(1) of the Landlord and Tenant Act 1954 to oppose a lease renewal.
The FCA are encouraged to find that the implementation of the new rules has encouraged financial institutions to manage whistleblowing cases and concerns fairly, consistently and in a manner that protects the individual whistleblower.
