Legal Terms - equality clause
A provision in a *contract of employment that states that the terms of a woman's contract, including but not limited to compensation, must put her in no less advantageous position than a man if she is employed on similar work to that of a man in the same employment or on work rated as equivalent or of equal value to his. According to the Equality Act of 2010, a contract that does not contain such a clause (either directly or through a collective agreement) is deemed to contain one; for more information on the application and limitations of the aforementioned clauses, see Hayward v. Camell Laird Shipbuilders Limited (No 2) [1988] IRLR 257 (HL) and Degnan and others v. Redcar & Cleveland Borough Council [2005] EWCA Civ 726.
