Equal Pay Act 1972

Pay equity claims - Determination by Authority

13ZZD: Determination may provide for recovery of remuneration for past work

You could also call this:

"Getting back pay for past work if you weren't paid fairly"

A determination can say that you should get back pay for work you did in the past. The law allows for this to happen when a decision is made by the Authority. You can find more information about this in the Equal Pay Act 1972, which was amended by the Equal Pay Amendment Act 2025.
