EAT EQUAL PAY ACT
JURISDICTIONAL POINTS – 2002 Act and pre-action requirements
Collective grievances and compliance with the statutory grievance procedures. Whether, in the context of public sector equal pay claims and TUPE transfers, the submission by a union representative of a written grievance to the County Council, copying in the NHS Trust as employer and forwarded to the Trust by the Council, not by the union representative, constitutes compliance with the requirement in regulation 9(1)(a) of the Dispute Resolution Regulations 2004 that the grievance be written to the employer. Appeal against ET’s decision that it did not allowed, so that there is jurisdiction to determine these claims.
