It is unlawful for an employer to discriminate against you because of your race, religion, sex or sexual orientation, or because you are disabled. Discrimination may occur:-
- When you fail in a job application
- If your pay or other Terms and Conditions of employment are less favourable than those of a colleague
- If you are not offered training
- If you are not selected for promotion
- If you are not allowed your full maternity rights, including the right to return to your job
- If you work part-time
- If appropriate adjustments are not made to take account of your disability
- If you are sexually or racially harassed or victimised
- When you are dismissed
These are just a few examples. The law relating to discrimination is complex. We can provide you with specialist advice and representation before an Employment Tribunal or Court. Employers are frequently willing to reach a settlement without formal proceedings because, if an employee is successful, there is no limit on the level of compensation, which can be awarded.
