Next Wins Appeal Overturning £30m Equal Pay Ruling
A judge ruled that retailer Next can pay warehouse workers more than other staff because it is harder to recruit and retain them, according to a BBC Business report.
Retailer Next has won a key appeal that overturns an earlier ruling ordering the company to pay around £30m in back pay related to equal pay claims, BBC Business reported.
According to the report, a judge found that Next was justified in paying warehouse workers more than other staff because it is harder for the company to recruit and retain employees for those roles.
The decision reverses an earlier finding that had required Next to pay tens of millions of pounds to settle the equal pay dispute, BBC Business said.
Further details of the case, including the identities of the original claimants and the specific legal grounds for the appeal, were not included in the available report.
