How to Use the Tesco Equal Pay Claim Calculator

Step 1: Enter Your Current Hourly Rate

Begin by inputting your current hourly rate in pounds. This should be the base rate you receive before any additional bonuses or overtime pay. Enter the amount accurately to ensure the most precise calculation.

Step 2: Input Your Average Hours Worked Per Week

Next, enter the average number of hours you work in a typical week. If your hours vary, try to estimate an average over the past few months. This information helps the calculator determine your potential weekly earnings difference.

Step 3: Specify Your Years of Service at Tesco

Enter the number of years you have worked at Tesco. The calculator will cap this at 6 years, as this is typically the maximum period for which back pay can be claimed in equal pay cases. If you’ve worked for less than 6 years, enter your actual time of service.

Step 4: Select Your Job Role

Choose your job role from the dropdown menu. Select ‘Store Worker’ if you work in a Tesco store, or ‘Warehouse Worker’ if you work in a distribution center. This selection is crucial as the calculator is primarily designed for store workers claiming equal pay with warehouse workers.

Step 5: Calculate Your Potential Claim

After entering all the required information, click the ‘Calculate Potential Claim’ button. The calculator will process your inputs and display the results.

Step 6: Review Your Results

The calculator will show an estimated potential claim amount for store workers. This estimate is based on the assumption that warehouse workers earn approximately 20% more than store workers. For warehouse workers, the tool will explain that they may not be eligible for this particular equal pay claim.
