To set the background scene of how this came to my knowledge.
I, along with two colleagues who exactly the same job, are under consultation for redundancy. There’s three of us and only two jobs to go around, the company needs to make financial cuts - so fair enough. Heavy hints have been dropped to me that my job is safe, although they are playing very much by the book, legally.
During my initial consultation meeting with the MD, HR and my Line Manager, the MD let it slip that my salary is not the most expensive, that my male counterpart is on more than me. The third colleague is relatively new to the position and about 16 years less experienced, so I know for sure her salary is much less, but the male colleague has about 2 years less experience than me and we do exactly the same job/have the same job title/responsibilities/qualifications.
For clarification, I’m a Graphic Designer and salaries vary for company to company in the industry, there’s no set scale.
Do I have a case for equal pay?
