LLP Can Be “Associated Employer” for Equal Pay Purposes

A recent case has established that LLPs rank as “associated employers” when it comes to claims under the Equal Pay Act.

This means that if you are an LLP, and are inheriting employees from a Council under TUPE, then those employees are able to compare themselves to employees back at the Council they left behind for the purposes of making claims for equal pay.
