Like work definition
Like work means work which is of a broadly similar nature and where the differences in tasks performed are indiscernible and not of practical importance as far as the demands on the worker are concerned.
Like work means the same or broadly similar work; it does not depend on the jobs having the same job titles – they can be different, yet the work could still be broadly similar. Any differences between the jobs are not taken into account if they are not of practical importance in relation to terms and conditions. The EOC Code gives the example of a woman cook preparing lunches for directors and a male chef cooking breakfast, lunch and tea for employees.
