In the wake of Bryn Parry Jones' six figure pay off, it has been revealed that around 100 council workers have been waiting for pay outs under equal pay legislation for nearly two years.

In 2012 Pembrokeshire County Council paid out a massive £3.5 million to settle historic equal pay claims. Workers had pay gaps corrected – ranging from 1p to £2.07 per hour – to bring the wages of men and women in comparable jobs to the same level.

However a group of women, including retired care worker Doreen Goldthorpe, felt they had been overlooked in the original settlement.

In January 2013 London solicitors Leigh Day & Co agreed to take up the women's cases. The firm won a historic judgment in the Supreme Court against Birmingham City Council, which ensured equal pay claims could be brought in civil courts as well as employment tribunals. The judgment extends the time limit for claims from six months to six years.

The women have been told that they are entitled to pay outs but that they are unlikely to receive them before Christmas.

"There are about a hundred of us who are still waiting for pay outs," said Mrs Goldthorpe. "It will be two years in January since we first started campaigning.

"When we see the council is paying out all that money to Bryn Parry Jones, we are still waiting for our pay. When is it going to be our turn?"

"How can he get that payment and there are a hundred of us still waiting for our money? It's what we are owed. We all worked for the council and we worked hard.

"We have been told it should be settled by Christmas but we won't get our money before Christmas.

"We have put the hours in, it's not as if it's something we're not entitled to."

A Pembrokeshire County Council spokesman said that the Authority made offers to settle with Leigh Day prior to Christmas 2013 but has yet to receive a response.

"We would suggest the individual contacts her representative at Leigh Day to seek understanding for the delay," said the spokesman.
