Chapter 3Equality of terms
Sex equality
66Sex equality clause
1
If the terms of A's work do not (by whatever means) include a sex equality clause, they are to be treated as including one.
2
A sex equality clause is a provision that has the following effect—
a
if a term of A's is less favourable to A than a corresponding term of B's is to B, A's term is modified so as not to be less favourable;
b
if A does not have a term which corresponds to a term of B's that benefits B, A's terms are modified so as to include such a term.
3
Subsection (2)(a) applies to a term of A's relating to membership of or rights under an occupational pension scheme only in so far as a sex equality rule would have effect in relation to the term.
4
In the case of work within section 65(1)(b), a reference in subsection (2) above to a term includes a reference to such terms (if any) as have not been determined by the rating of the work (as well as those that have).
