In this episode of the Indicator HR and Employment Law podcast, we look at the Employment Appeal Tribunal judgment in Next Retail Ltd v Thandi and others, involving around 3,500 equal pay claims.
The case considers whether Next could rely on the material factor defence to justify differences in pay between predominantly female store workers and mainly male warehouse workers. We explore the role of market forces, recruitment and retention, indirect sex discrimination and how employers should approach the justification of pay differences.
Watch the latest episode for the key equal pay lessons for employers.
