If your employer fails to pay your wages correctly, you may have a claim for breach of contract. Breach of contract occurs when either you or your employer does not adhere to a term in your contract of employment. In the context of pay, an example would be where your employer fails to pay you in lieu of notice which you are entitled to under your contract – this would be a breach of contract.

Edinburgh City Council has agreed to settle a large number of equal pay claims and withdraw an appeal to the Supreme Court, reports the BBC.
