Tesco store workers may be entitled to thousands of pounds in compensation
Tesco is failing to pay supermarket store workers a comparable wage to employees working in its distribution centres. Tesco has been accused of paying distribution centre employees as much as £3 an hour more than store staff. However, we believe store and distribution workers do jobs of equal value and should be paid equally.
As a result, we believe that current and former Tesco store workers deserve compensation for the money they have not been paid. These Tesco store workers could be owed thousands of pounds each.
At KP Law, we are helping these store workers make an equal pay claim against Tesco.
Tesco workers who are currently working or have previously worked at a Tesco store in England or Wales at any time in the last six years, may qualify to join our Tesco equal pay claim.

At KP Law, we are helping these Tesco store workers make an equal pay claim against Tesco.
We are bringing claims on behalf of store workers who are currently or have previously worked at a Tesco store in England or Wales at any time in the last six years. If you are currently or have previously worked at a Tesco store in England or Wales at any time in the last six years, you may qualify to join our group claim against Tesco.
We will work for you under a no-win, no-fee agreement. This means:
KP Law believes that Tesco store workers could be owed thousands of pounds in compensation because they were not paid the equivalent to Tesco distribution centre workers.
No. When you claim against an employer, the law automatically protects you from any act of retaliation. Tesco cannot treat you any differently for joining the claim.
Not at all. The process to join our action is straightforward and can be completed quickly from your phone or computer.
We cannot tell for sure how long the case will take although we anticipate that the Tesco equal pay claim could take several years. It will be hard-fought by Tesco and a number of Court and/or Employment Tribunal hearings will be required.
We will provide regular updates on the progress of the claim once you have formally signed up to the KP Law Tesco equal pay claim.
If you don’t join the group claim you might not receive any financial compensation. A successful claim could equal up to six years’ backpay from the date we start your claim, and backpay from the date we start until the claim is resolved. So, if you currently or have previously worked at Tesco over the past six years it is definitely worth joining the KP Law action. Our expert team will help fight your corner and hold Tesco accountable for its actions.
If you are interested in joining the Tesco compensation claim, sign up with KP Law to see if you are eligible.
Absolutely. Anyone, male, or female, who has worked at a Tesco store in England or Wales in the last six years in an hourly paid job may be eligible to claim.
It is likely that the difference in pay between store and distribution centre workers is due to gender.
However, while female store worker claims will lead the equal pay case, their male colleagues might also be eligible for the same level of compensation and backpay if successful. So, a male store worker can also bring a ‘ claim. To be awarded compensation, both male and female workers must make a claim.
Yes, you can continue to work for Tesco if you join our claim. It is unlawful for Tesco to fire you for pursuing a claim against them, or to treat you any differently.
Yes. If you are made redundant, you can still make an equal pay claim. We recommend that you join the claim as soon as possible to ensure you receive as much compensation as you are owed.
If you are made redundant and your employer asks you to sign documents about your redundancy or your redundancy pay, do not sign them until you have sought legal advice. Also, you must tell your legal adviser that you have issued or intend to issue an equal pay claim.
Once you have signed up to join our claim, there is nothing more you need to do. We will let you know if you are eligible and, if so, invite you to formally join our action. We will then progress the claim on your behalf.
Please keep copies of any documentation regarding your work at a Tesco store. Please also keep us informed if any of your contact information changes so we can stay in touch with you. You should also lookout for any emails from us, and don’t hesitate to contact us if you have any further questions.
