Tesco store workers may be entitled to thousands of pounds in compensation.

Tesco is failing to pay supermarket store workers a comparable wage to employees working in its distribution centres. Tesco has been accused of paying distribution centre employees as much as £3 an hour more than store staff. However, we believe store and distribution workers do jobs of equal value and should be paid equally.

As a result, we believe that current and former Tesco store workers deserve compensation for the money they have not been paid. These Tesco store workers could be owed thousands of pounds each.

At KP Law, we are helping these store workers make an equal pay claim against Tesco.

If you are currently working or have previously worked at a Tesco store in England or Wales at any time in the last six years, you may qualify to join our Tesco equal pay claim.

Signing up is straightforward and costs you nothing as we act on a no-win-no-fee basis.

JOIN OUR CLAIM TO RECEIVE THE COMPENSATION YOU DESERVE.

We are holding Tesco to account for underpaying its workers

We are representing Tesco store workers in a group action claim. When people join a group action, this strengthens their overall position and makes big organisations like Tesco take the matter seriously.  A group action increases the Tesco store workers’ chances of success. 

By providing claimants with access to specialist litigation lawyers – without having to pay any upfront fees – we aim to hold Tesco to account for not paying its store workers what they are due.

We believe that many Tesco store workers are owed thousands of pounds each. We make the process of claiming back what you are due straightforward. It is free to sign up and takes only a few minutes.

The Tesco equal pay claim is not just for female employees

Anyone, male or female, who has worked at a Tesco store in England or Wales in an hourly paid job in the last six years is likely to be eligible to claim.

It is likely that the difference in pay between store and distribution centre workers is due to gender. However, while female store worker claims will lead the equal pay case, their male colleagues would be eligible for the same level of compensation if successful.

To be awarded compensation, both male and female workers must make a claim.

Not at all. The process to join is straightforward and can be completed quickly from your phone or computer.
