Pieceworkers and equal pay

[ch 7: page 281]

Pieceworkers can claim equal pay under the EA 10. If there is an appreciable difference in pay between pieceworkers of different sexes, the employer must prove that there is no sex-based discrimination (Specialarbejderforbundet i Danmark v Dansk Industri [1995] IRLR 648).
