EAT EQUAL PAY ACT – Work rated equivalent
The Judgment of the Employment Tribunal concluded work had been rated as equivalent because it could be inferred that the male comparators’ job had been evaluated under a job evaluation study; that conclusion was inadequately reasoned. It was implicit in the Judgment that the evidence of the Respondent’s witnesses there had never been such an evaluation had been rejected but no reasons for arriving at such a conclusion were stated and the inferential basis for the conclusion that there must have been such a study rested on a series of speculative assumptions. Alternatively the conclusion was one that no reasonable Tribunal properly directing itself on the evidence could have reached.
