Reforming pay structures can be a daunting prospect. However, those organisations that have successfully equality proofed their pay systems have reaped enormous benefits in terms of employee morale and attracting new talent.

IRIS Consulting have designed a one–day workshop, featuring Tess Gill as keynote speaker offering practical advice and guidance on the main challenges facing employers as well as the most effective solutions available to them.

THIS IS NOT JUST ANOTHER SEMINAR -  

Attendees will receive:

•  Expert advice on the latest legal situation from a top employment lawyer
•  A step-by-step tool kit on creating a pay strategy that meets the requirements of equal pay legislation.
•  A free half-day health check for your organisation
•  The opportunity to share best practice, problems and solutions with other organisations and pay & reward experts from across the public sector.
•  Guidance on how to incorporate competency related pay and the new equality standards into your pay bands
•  Advice on maintaining an equality-proofed pay scheme

TESS GILL is a barrister specialising in employment law, in particular equal pay and discrimination and has appeared in several leading equal pay cases as well as being a member of the Equal Pay Taskforce. She recently represented Bernadette Cadman in her case against the H&SE.

The workshop will explore the principles of designing pay and grading structures. It will consider the factors that constrain choices, including the legal imperatives of equal pay for work of equal value and avoiding discrimination on age, gender, race and disability.

"Gender Equality Schemes and Equal Pay – Can you afford not to act?" will take place on 8 March 2007 at The UWC club in central London.

 Cost: £295 + VAT (including all materials, lunch & refreshments as well as the
opportunity for a free half-day health check for your organisation)
