  Health & Safety Executive v Cadman [2004] IRLR 29 EAT (2 other reports)

  • Equal pay: No need for specific justification of length of service criterion

    Date:

    5 March 2004

    In Health & Safety Executive v Cadman, the EAT holds that, where a woman claims equal pay on the basis that she is paid less than her longer-serving male comparators doing work rated as equivalent, the employer is not required to produce specific justification for using length of service as a pay criterion in circumstances where it was distinguishing between full-time workers.

  • Service-related pay system not unlawful

    Date:

    1 January 2004

    In Health and Safety Executive v Cadman (22 October 2003), the EAT holds that length of service as a criterion in a pay system did not require specific justification so as to establish a genuine material factor defence to an equal pay claim, as length of service was generally objectively justified.
