Shop floor
£12/hr
Looking after customers, filling shelves and working the tills, standing the whole shift.
Have you worked the shop floor at a supermarket?
If you work at Asda, Sainsbury’s or Morrisons (or you used to) your time on the shop floor could be worth a claim.
Check if you can claim
It costs nothing to check, takes about a minute, and you cannot be penalised for joining.
Where you worked
Why has this happened?
The big supermarkets have been paying their shop-floor staff less than colleagues in their distribution centres.
We consider this an injustice. That’s why we’re standing up for supermarket employees whose hard work and dedication have been undervalued. We are committed to holding employers accountable and helping hardworking people like you get the pay you deserve. Harcus Parker already acts for tens of thousands of supermarket staff on equal pay.
You may have been paid too little, and could be due thousands back
There's nothing to pay unless you win: just 24% + VAT, while others take 35%.
Where does the gap come from?
Depot and warehouse teams, who are mainly men, are paid more than store teams, who are mainly women. Where two jobs are worth the same, the law says the pay should match.

It doesn't add up
Equal skill. Equal graft. Unequal pay.

Warehouse
£14/hr
Picking orders, packing them and shifting stock around the warehouse.
Should a tribunal find the two roles equal in value, that difference becomes back pay owed to you. Figures shown as an example.

Time is limited
Equal pay claims come with a hard deadline.
In most cases you can only claim while still employed, or for a short period after you leave. Each month that passes could cost you back pay, so it pays to check early.

Your questions answered
Who is able to claim?
You may be able to claim if you are currently in, or have recently held, an hourly-paid shop-floor job at Asda, Sainsbury's or Morrisons anywhere in England, Wales or Scotland. Run the 60-second check to see where you stand.
I've left the job. Can I still claim?
Quite possibly. Time limits do apply and they are strict, but people who have left can often still take part, depending on when the job ended. The fastest way to find out is to run the check or have a word with our team.
What sort of sum could I be due?
That comes down to your hours, your length of service and the job you did. Some workers could be due thousands. The estimator above gives a rough idea, though what you actually receive rests on the outcome of the case.
Could joining put my job at risk?
No. An employer acts unlawfully if it treats you badly or dismisses you for making or joining an equal pay claim.
What will it cost me?
Nothing at the outset, and payment only follows a win. If your claim succeeds, Harcus Parker charges a fee of 24% plus VAT of the money you recover, taken from your compensation, together with a disbursements contribution of up to an estimated £150. Its fee and terms are set out in full in the funding agreement you review and sign before your claim starts. Where the claim does not succeed, and you have kept to that agreement, there is nothing to pay. If you cancel within 14 days, Harcus Parker can charge for work already done at your request. If you end your claim after that, you may have to pay a share of legal fees and costs. The full terms are in the engagement letter you’ll see before you sign.
Who is Employee Pay?
Employee Pay is a trading style of Solvo Solutions Ltd, a claims management company authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FRN 1013195) in respect of regulated claims management activities. Employee Pay is a referrer, not a law firm. If you proceed, your claim is handled by Harcus Parker Limited, an SRA-regulated law firm, which pays Solvo a fee for the introduction.
Every shift you worked should count.
It costs nothing to check, takes about a minute, and you cannot be penalised for joining.
