An illustration only, based on the figures you enter and a representative pay gap. Not a promise of compensation.
Asda pays its distribution centre colleagues, mostly men, more than its shop-floor colleagues, mostly women. The law says if the work is of equal value, the pay should be too.
Serving customers, stocking shelves and running the tills — on your feet all shift.
Picking, packing and moving stock around Asda’s distribution centres.
If a tribunal agrees the roles are of equal value, that gap becomes back pay you’re owed. Figures illustrative.
This isn’t a long shot. In the Asda litigation, the UK Supreme Court confirmed that shop-floor colleagues can compare their work with colleagues in Asda’s distribution centres for equal pay purposes.
That ruling matters. It means Asda can’t defeat these claims simply by pointing out that stores and depots are different places, or different parts of the business. The question that’s left is the one that counts: was the work of equal value?
That question is now being tested for tens of thousands of current and former Asda colleagues — and it’s the same question your claim would ask.

“The work we do on the shop floor is just as hard as the depot. It’s only right we’re paid the same.”
Asda colleague, 11 yearsYou can usually only claim while you’re still employed by Asda, or within a limited window after leaving. Every month you wait could mean back pay lost, so the sooner you check, the better.
No. Current Asda shop-floor colleagues can join, and so can many former colleagues. If you've left Asda, you may still be able to claim within a limited window, so it's worth checking even if you no longer work there.
Possibly. Equal pay claims usually need to be brought while you're still employed, or within a limited window after leaving. The sooner you check, the more likely you are to still be in time.
It depends on your hours, your length of service and the pay gap a tribunal finds between shop-floor and distribution centre roles. Some colleagues could be owed thousands, up to six years' back pay. Use the calculator above for an illustrative estimate.
No. It's against the law for Asda to dismiss, discipline or otherwise penalise you for bringing an equal pay claim or exercising your legal rights.
Nothing upfront. It's no win, no fee. If your claim doesn't succeed, you pay nothing. If it does, the fee is 24% plus VAT, plus an estimated maximum £150 contribution towards disbursements, taken from your compensation.
