Anytime now, we can expect to see the publication of a new employment Bill, called the Equality (Race and Disability) Bill. Which, if it becomes law, will:
- place a legal duty on employers with more than 250 employees to carry out ethnicity (and disability) pay gap reporting
- extend equal pay rights to protect workers who suffer discrimination on the grounds of their race (and disability)
- ensure that outsourcing services cannot be used to avoid paying equal pay
- implement a regulatory and enforcement unit for equal pay with involvement from trade unions
