Chapter 7

What can be claimed? 




[ch 7: page 254]

Up to six years’ back pay plus interest can be recovered (section 132, EA 10). It often takes as long as four years for equal pay claims to be decided in the courts, and since any award dates from the date of issue of the claim, awards of back pay can sometimes cover as much as 10 years.
