Title | Pay transparency and unequal pay for equal work: devising an effective regulatory framework |
Authors | Patrick, A. |
Abstract | Despite being guaranteed by UK law since 1975, the right to equal pay continues to be inhibited, in part by a pervasive culture of pay secrecy. In this thesis, it is argued that strengthening compliance with equal pay law can only be achieved by imposing duties on employers to ensure their pay systems are not discriminatory, and by easing the burden of information gathering on employees who want to discover whether they are receiving discriminatory pay. To achieve this, this thesis proposes the introduction of a regulatory framework of mandatory pay transparency measures in the UK, that shifts much of the burden onto employers to prevent pay discrimination from occurring. |
