The pay gap
Same skill. Same effort. Not the same pay.
Shop floor staff at Asda, Sainsbury's and Morrisons do skilled, physical work every single shift. Serving customers, filling shelves, running tills, picking online orders, keeping the store safe and stocked. It is demanding work, and it takes real skill to do it well.
Reported pay gaps show that warehouse and distribution colleagues have been paid £1 to £3 an hour more for work of equal value. That is the heart of the claim. Equal pay law is not about job titles, it is about whether two different jobs are worth the same to the business.
That gap adds up fast over months and years. Yet many store workers never check. Some worry about losing their job. Some assume it will cost them money. Many simply do not know they can claim at all, including former staff who think it is too late.

Part of a nationwide movement
Supermarket equal pay claims are now widespread across the UK. Leigh Day — a separate law firm, not connected to Fair Pay UK or Harcus Parker — reports that it represents over 100,000 supermarket workers at Asda, Sainsbury's, Tesco, Morrisons and the Co-op in similar claims. That figure is their client base, not ours, but it shows you are far from alone in asking the question.
Straight to the law firm, no middleman
Other firms are running similar supermarket claims. With Fair Pay UK you deal directly with Harcus Parker Limited, the regulated law firm running your claim — not a claims-management middleman — on one clear, published fee: 24% plus VAT, payable only if your claim succeeds.

Time limits
Why it is worth checking now, not later
Equal pay claims usually have to be started while you still work there, or within six months of leaving. If you left recently, check now. If you left longer ago, check anyway and the team will tell you where you stand. Waiting to find out could mean missing the window.
Why this matters now
According to GOV.UK, the Government launched a 15-week consultation on equal pay reform in July 2026, running until 27 October 2026, reflecting growing scrutiny of pay practices across the retail sector. That consultation closes on 27 October 2026, and separate legal time limits still apply to you personally — usually six months after you leave your store — so checking today is the safest way to avoid missing your own window. Harcus Parker's claims against Asda, Sainsbury's and Morrisons form part of a wider trend: Leigh Day, a separate law firm with no connection to Fair Pay UK or Harcus Parker, reports that it represents over 100,000 supermarket workers across Asda, Sainsbury's, Tesco, Morrisons and the Co-op in similar equal pay claims. Those are Leigh Day's clients, not ours.

Answers
Frequently Asked Questions
The questions store workers near you ask us most, answered plainly.
Who can make a claim?
Hourly-paid store staff at Asda, Sainsbury's or Morrisons, now or in the past: shop floor, checkouts, shelf stacking, online picking in store and similar roles. Full time or part time, a few months' service or twenty years. Men in the same store roles can claim too.
I don't work there any more. Can I still claim?
Often, yes. Equal pay claims usually have to be started while you still work there or within six months of leaving, so if you have left recently, check now. If you left longer ago, check anyway and we will tell you where you stand.
How much could I be owed?
It depends on your hours, your years of service and the pay gap in your role. As an illustration only: a £2 an hour gap on a 30-hour week is around £3,000 a year, so six years would be in the region of £18,000. Claims can cover up to six years of back pay in England and Wales, and five years in Scotland. Every case is different and these figures are an illustration only, not a promise of compensation.
Will my job be at risk if I join?
The Equality Act 2010 protects you from being treated badly, including being disciplined or dismissed, because you bring or support an equal pay claim. Checking your eligibility does not notify your employer and does not commit you to anything.
What does it cost?
Nothing up front, and nothing if the claim does not succeed. If it succeeds, the fee is 24% plus VAT of your compensation, plus an estimated maximum of £150 towards disbursements. You have 14 days to change your mind after signing; a fee may be payable if you cancel after that.
