Compromise agreements: Compromise agreement fails to prevent equal pay claim

Key points

In Hilton UK Hotels Ltd v McNaughton EATS/0059/04, the EAT holds:

  • The employment tribunal was correct to find that a compromise agreement did not prevent an employee who was excluded from the employer's pension scheme during a period of part-time employment from advancing an equal pay claim. As a matter of construction, the waiver clause contained in the agreement she had signed on termination of her employment did not suffice.
