Stay ahead with a comprehensive equal pay risk review
Equal pay claims have made headlines for a number of years, with increasing numbers of employees joining collective claims spearheaded by ‘no win, no fee’ firms, particularly against major retailers. If you’re concerned about your organisation’s exposure to equal pay claims, our specialised review, provided in partnership with Halborns, the employment law company within the Empowering People Group, will help you assess potential risks and develop strategies to mitigate them.
Aims of the review
- Assess your exposure: We will evaluate the extent to which your organisation might be vulnerable to successful equal pay claims.
- Risk mitigation: We will recommend strategies to avoid or minimise your exposure to equal pay claims.
- Future planning: We will help you create a plan to address potential future equal pay claims with robust measures.
Expected outcomes
Our thorough review will help you:
- Identify risks: Understand the possibility of equal pay claims and assess your organisation’s risk.
- Strengthen structures: We will provide actionable recommendations to mitigate risks, which can be integrated into your pay and reward systems.
- Broader risk assessment: We will also evaluate other potential risks, such as equal value claims, and suggest necessary investigations before further recommendations.
Methodology
The process is meticulous and confidential, designed to give you peace of mind while safeguarding sensitive information. As part of the review you’ll get:
- Tailored insights and accuracy: By establishing a baseline and conducting a snapshot analysis we’ll ensure recommendations are based on a clear understanding of your current pay practices, leading to precise comparisons and data-driven decisions.
- Comprehensive risk assessment: The review captures a holistic view of your organisations compensation structure, identifying potential inequalities and compliance risks across different functions and locations.
- Enhanced clarity and compliance: Examining contracts and employee data clarifies specific concerns and ensures alignment with best practices, helping to safeguard your organisation against potential disputes and enhancing overall pay equity.
The equal pay risk review is carried out by Halborns, an expert employment law firm known for its pragmatic, solutions-focused approach. While the service is available through AdviserPlus, both companies are part of the Empowering People Group, which unites HR and learning businesses to enhance employee experiences and business success.
Because the equal pay audit is being carried out by your lawyers it will be completely confidential and non-disclosable in any tribunal or court proceedings. We suggest limiting discussion of the results to C-Suite and senior HR individuals only.
