	Women and Equality Unit \| Legislation \| Equal Pay Act
		The Equal Pay Act 1970 makes it unlawful for employers to discriminate between men and women in terms of their pay and conditions where they are doing the same or similar work; work rated as equivalent; or work of equal value.
		Under the Equal Pay Act the term "same employment" broadly means that the comparator should be employed by the same or an associated employer.
		To show objective justification the employer must show that the difference in pay corresponds to a real need of his or her business, is necessary to achieve that business objective, and that it is not out of proportion to the objective.

		It is important to bear in mind that the "Equal Pay Act 1970" rules are a subset of the sex discrimination rules.
		The Equal Pay Act questionnaire is therefore concerned with enabling a person of one sex to get details of the pay of a person of the other sex in circumstances where the Equal Pay Act is relevant.
		Putting it a different way, the Equal Pay Act is NOT concerned with enabling people in general to have the same pay (and other terms) as other people for the same or similar work.

		We recognize Equal Pay Day in April because the month is symbolic of the four additional months that a woman would need to work each year, just to equal their male co-workers yearly wages.

	Equal Pay
		All available data on pay shows that women’s average earnings are less than men’s and that this pay gap continues to affect women throughout their working lives in all industries and in all occupations.
		The differences in pay which exist within many industries can sometimes be justified, although the existence of separate pay structures within the same organisation often leads to disparities which employers may, or may not, be reluctant to address.
		The most obvious solution to equal pay is clearly workers, and women workers in particular, who must be willing to organise within the workplace and within the TSSA to challenge inequality wherever they see it.
