Mandatory equal pay audits: time to review the gender pay gap? | Practical Law
According to the government’s final proposals set out in the draft Equality Act 2010 (Equal Pay Audits) Regulations 2014, employers that lose a claim for equal pay or sex discrimination in relation to pay will, from 1 October 2014, be required to carry out an equal pay audit, unless a specific exemption applies. Employers should carefully consider their vulnerability to an equal pay audit and the steps that they can take now to mitigate the risk.
