Mr E Critchley v Christopher Bennett T/a Christopher Bennett Hairdressing: 2413639/2019
JUDGMENT
[1]The equal pay complaint does not succeed. The sex equality clause in the claimant’s contract had no effect in relation to a difference between the claimant’s terms and those of his comparator, because the respondent has proved that the difference was because of a material factor, reliance on which did not involve treating the claimant less favourably because of his sex than the respondent treated his comparator.[2]The respondent made an unlawful deduction from the claimant’s wages and is ordered to pay the claimant the gross sum of £77.50.[3]The respondent made an unlawful deduction from the claimant’s holiday pay and is ordered to pay the claimant the gross sum of £68.76.
