Equal Pay Act (1970, UK)

The Equal Pay Act of 1970 in the UK requires that men and women receive equal pay for doing the same or equivalent work. It aims to eliminate unfair salary differences based on gender. Employers must ensure that wage differences are justified by factors like experience, skill, or performance, not gender. The law also applies to related aspects like bonuses and benefits. It provides employees with the right to challenge pay disparities, promoting fairness and equality in the workplace.
