Women should be able to see male colleagues' pay, says charity
Women should have The Right to know what their male colleagues are being paid if they suspect pay discrimination, a gender equality charity has said.
The Fawcett Society is calling for a change in The Law to try to cut down on instances of unequal pay.
But men can help by simply telling female colleagues what they earn, The Charity added.
The Call comes as.
Fawcett Society chief executive Sam Smethers said: "Pay secrecy means women cannot know if they are being paid equally and fairly.
"Even if they do suspect A Man is earning More it is almost impossible to do anything about it. This is why we are calling for a change in The Law . "
She Said that women need an enforceable "right to know" what their colleagues earn so that they can challenge unequal pay.
"Men can help by simply telling their female colleagues what they earn. It really is that simple," Ms Smethers added.
Shanti Kelemen, investor director at Brown Shipley, told BBC Radio 4 's Programme that it should be "all or nothing".
"I just think giving women The Right isn't The Answer . Why Not minorities, old people, young people?"
"If I was going to implement something like this, use a system like Sweden where anyone can look at anyone's tax return. The Catch is that everyone will know you've looked. "
Under UK law, men and women are supposed to be paid the same for doing comparable work.
The Call from the Fawcett Society comes after the Labour Party pledged.
The gender pay gap is the percentage difference between average hourly earnings for men and women.
'I feel betrayed and disgusted' Kay Collins now cares for her husband William full-timeKay Collins had a job with a catering firm, but her work-life started to unravel after a chance conversation with a male colleague in September 2015.
She found out that he was earning £6,000 More per year than her for doing exactly the same role as a chef.
"I was shaking, I was so angry," She Said .
She was older and More experienced than her male colleague, and so raised a grievance with her female line manager.
However, her manager said The Man had More Responsibilities - although he himself said he didn't.
He ended up resigning, and Kay lost her job, although she won a settlement at a tribunal after a process that took many years.
"It was an ordeal, that's what it was," she says. "I lost two stone over a couple of years [because of the stress]. "
However, The Settlement was not enough to cover her £15,000 Court costs.
Kay, who is 60 next year, felt "down and betrayed" afterwards, and is now a full-time carer for her husband William, who has a Heart Condition , and is still having to work from home to pay their mortgage.
"I feel disgusted and betrayed. "
