Same shop. Same graft. Not the same rate.
You could be owed years of back pay.

Equal work. Different rate.
The Equality Act says that if two jobs are of equal value, similar effort, skill and responsibility, the pay should be equal too. The jobs do not have to be identical, and both men and women in store roles can claim.
Serving customers, running tills, stocking shelves, picking online orders. On your feet all shift.
Picking, packing and moving stock around the depot, for work a tribunal may find of equal value.
Found to be of equal value to depot roles for 2008 to 2014. A few roles were not.
They put it on the pallet. You take it off. Same stock, different rate. If a tribunal agrees the roles are of equal value, that gap can become back pay. Nobody is asking to cut depot pay.
How many hours are in your claim
The hours you worked on the shop floor are what a claim is calculated over. What any claim is worth is assessed by the tribunal, not here.
Back pay counts the last six years, so the estimate stops rising there.
Your answers suggest you may have a claim worth checking. Back pay, where a claim succeeds, is generally limited to the last 6 years. What any claim is worth depends on your individual circumstances and is assessed by the tribunal; no outcome is guaranteed.

Where the claims stand
These cases are years old and the supermarkets are contesting them. This is where each one stood on .
-
AsdaRunning 12 years
Equal value found. 36 store roles have been found to be of equal value to depot roles, for work done between 2008 and 2014. A few roles were not. Asda's defence is heard from November 2026.
-
MorrisonsRunning 8 years
Defence heard. The tribunal in Leeds heard Morrisons' defence in sessions listed from April to September 2026. No decision has been published.
-
Sainsbury'sRunning 11 years
Comparison accepted. Sainsbury's accepts that store and depot roles can be compared. The equal value stage is expected in 2027 or 2028.
No supermarket has paid compensation on these claims, and no payment date has been set.
There's a strict time limit on equal pay claims
While you are still employed there is no leaving date to work from. Back pay, where a claim succeeds, is generally limited to up to six years.
To claim, you must have worked at a store in England, Scotland or Wales within the last six years; whether your claim is brought in the Employment Tribunal or in court depends on when you left. Back pay, where a claim succeeds, is generally limited to up to six years. The check takes about a minute.

Backed by specialist solicitors
Your claim is handled by Harcus Parker
EvenPay is a claims management company. We check whether your situation looks like a claim and, if it does, refer you to Harcus Parker, solicitors authorised and regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority. They run the claim. We do not.
You do not need paid representation to bring an equal pay claim. You can raise the issue directly with your employer, contact Acas for free early conciliation, or bring a claim to an employment tribunal yourself. A claim made through a claims management company or solicitor may not necessarily be resolved more quickly, or with a better prospect of success.
The cost, plainly
If your claim succeeds, Harcus Parker charges a fee of 24% + VAT of the money you recover — set out in full before you sign.
Checking commits you to nothing. If your claim proceeds, it runs on a fee that applies only if it succeeds, and you will see the exact terms in the funding agreement before you sign.
You pay EvenPay nothing. EvenPay is paid a referral fee by the solicitors.
How joining works
Check in 60 seconds
A few multiple-choice questions. Nothing is committed at this point.
Read and sign once
We send you the solicitors' funding agreement, with the fee in it. You read it and sign online. Your details reach the solicitors when you sign, not before.
The solicitors do the legal work
The solicitors run your claim and keep you updated. Equal pay cases are slow: the three above have been running between 8 and 12 years.
You could get back pay
If the claim succeeds, you could recover up to six years of back pay, less the fee. You pay nothing if it does not.
Questions, answered
Who can claim?
Current and former hourly-paid shop-floor workers at Asda, Sainsbury's or Morrisons. Both men and women can claim. The comparison is between store roles and higher-paid depot roles, not between individuals.
Which roles qualify differs by supermarket and is confirmed by the solicitors, not by this check. Checking commits you to nothing, and nothing starts until you sign the solicitors' agreement.
I don't work there anymore. Can I still claim?
Possibly. To claim, you must have worked at a store in England, Scotland or Wales within the last six years. If you left more than 6 months ago you may still be able to claim, and Harcus Parker may bring your claim in court rather than the employment tribunal. The 60-second check tells you whether you can carry on.
I'm already in a claim with a union or another firm. Can I join this one?
No. You cannot be represented twice for the same claim. If you are already in one, stay with it. The check asks, so we do not refer you by mistake.
How much could I be owed?
Back pay, where a claim succeeds, is generally limited to up to six years. What any claim is worth depends on your individual circumstances and is assessed by the tribunal. No outcome is guaranteed, and this site shows no estimate.
Will my job be at risk if I claim?
The law protects workers from being dismissed or treated unfairly for asserting their equal pay rights. Tens of thousands of supermarket workers have already brought equal pay claims.
What does it cost?
Nothing to check, and nothing if the claim does not succeed. If your claim succeeds, Harcus Parker charges a fee of 24% + VAT of the money you recover — set out in full before you sign. You pay EvenPay nothing; the solicitors pay us a referral fee.
Who is EvenPay?
EvenPay is a trading style of Solvo Solutions Ltd, a claims management company authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority. We check your eligibility and refer your claim to Harcus Parker, who handle it. Full details are in the footer.
Every hour you worked counts.
Checking commits you to nothing. Your details reach the solicitors only when you sign their agreement.
Which supermarket did you work for?
Worked for more than one? Pick the one you worked at longest. You can tell the solicitors about the others.
Was your role hourly-paid, working in a store?
Hourly-paid work on the shop floor of a store. Which roles qualify differs by supermarket, and the solicitors confirm yours. Warehouse and depot roles are the comparison, not the claim.
Do you still work there?
If you have left, we need the month you finished. The solicitors work from that date.
When did you leave?
Where do you live now?
Back pay and time limits differ in Scotland, so this changes what applies to you.
Have you already signed up to this claim with Leigh Day, Fair Pay UK, Harcus Parker, a union or anyone else?
Signing up on any website counts, this one included. Nobody can be represented twice for the same claim. If you are already in one, stay with it.
Based on your answers you meet the criteria for this claim and you can carry on.
You could be owed around
Based on the figures you enter and a representative pay gap of about /hr, with back pay capped at 6 years. An illustration only, not a promise of compensation. Every claim depends on its own facts.
Harcus Parker Limited carries out its own checks before your claim starts.
