(b)it is clear without an audit whether any action is required to avoid equal pay breaches occurring or continuing,

(a)had fewer than 10 employees immediately before a specified time, or
(b)was begun as a new business in a specified period.
(11)For the purposes of subsection (10)—
(a) “ specified ” means specified in the regulations, and

Testun a grëwyd gan yr adran o’r llywodraeth oedd yn gyfrifol am destun y Ddeddf i esbonio beth mae’r Ddeddf yn ceisio ei wneud ac i wneud y Ddeddf yn hygyrch i ddarllenwyr nad oes ganddynt gymhwyster cyfreithiol. Cyflwynwyd Nodiadau Esboniadol ym 1999 ac maent yn cyd-fynd â phob Deddf Gyhoeddus ac eithrio Deddfau Adfeddiannu, Cronfa Gyfunol, Cyllid a Chyfnerthiad.
