What is considered as discrimination in the workplace?
The law protects you from discrimination in the workplace.
Do you think you are experiencing workplace discrimination? We can help you on the following grounds;
- colour
- race
- ethnic or national origins
- sex (including pregnancy or childbirth)
- marital or family status
- age
- disability
- religious or ethical belief
- political opinion
- employment status
- sexual orientation
- involvement in union activities, which includes claiming or helping others to claim a benefit under an employment agreement, or taking or intending to take employment relations education leave.
These grounds are the same as the grounds in the Human Rights Act. In some circumstances, different treatment of employees on these grounds is acceptable.
If you believe your employer is discriminating against you on one or more of the prohibited grounds listed above – it is important to seek assistance at an early stage. Our company can provide representation to ensure that your rights are upheld.
