- 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
