DiscriminationDiscrimination at work occurs when an employee is treated less favourably than another. Cases involving discrimination can be very complex so it is important that expert advice is obtained as early as possible.
The main types of discrimination are:
- Sex
- Race
- Disability
- Sexual orientation
- Religious beliefs
- Age (from October 2006)
We can help you avoid the pitfalls which surround this area. We can:
- Ensure that you have the proper policies and procedures in place to prevent a claim
- Ensure you/your managers understand what should or should not be done
- In disability, help you understand what reasonable adjustments are expected of you
- Defend discrimination claims
