Quote The Video Ref="The Video Ref"Equal pay is an easy concept when you are talking about waiting tables or stacking shelves.
As someone else has pointed out, quite a lot of jobs will have pay bands, and the employees will be remunerated depending on qualifications and experience. Even though both are doing substantively the same work.
The place I work operates a pay band system based on time served. The person whom I share an office with, who happens to be female, has been around longer and is paid a few thousand more than me for no other reason than she has been here longer. We do exactly the same job. Should I launch an equal pay claim?

Same here, we have grades of pay scales and you move up them with experience, professional status and service, starting at 80% of full grade. There are a few women who earn less than me for much the same job and a few who earn more.
