Frequently Asked Questions
What is the ASDA equal pay case about?
The ASDA equal pay case concerns claims by predominantly female store workers that they should be paid the same as predominantly male warehouse and distribution workers performing work of equal value. Thousands of current and former ASDA employees have brought claims seeking backpay for the difference in hourly rates.
How is the hourly pay gap calculated?
The hourly pay gap is the difference between the comparator hourly rate (warehouse/distribution workers) and your hourly rate (store workers). We multiply this gap by your average weekly hours and 52 weeks per year to estimate annual backpay, then apply it over the eligible period capped by regional time limits.
Why is there a 6-year vs 5-year cap?
UK employment law typically limits how far back you can claim. In England, Wales, and Northern Ireland, the backdated period is often capped at 6 years. In Scotland, the cap is usually 5 years. These are general rules and your specific case may differ—legal advice is essential.
Is interest included and how is it estimated?
Interest is optional in this calculator. If enabled, we apply a simple illustrative rate of 8% per annum on the average outstanding amount (calculated as half the eligible period). This is purely an estimate and not legal advice—actual interest calculations depend on tribunal decisions and legal proceedings.
Is this legal advice?
No. This calculator provides an illustrative estimate only. It does not constitute legal advice. Every case is unique, and your actual eligibility, claim value, and outcome depend on many factors including tribunal decisions, employment records, and specific circumstances. You should always seek professional legal advice before pursuing a claim.
