Discrimination

Discrimination in the workplace is unlawful under employment law. Discrimination involves being treated differently because of characteristics such as your race, religion, country of origin, nationality, ethnic group, gender, sexuality, maternity issues, disability or membership of an organisation. There are equal opportunities provisions in law which strive to create a “level playing field“ in the work place obliging employers to employ people, pay, train and promote them only based on their skills abilities and how they do their job. If the discrimination led to your employment being terminated, you may be able to claim compensation, irrespective of how long you were employed. If the discrimination has not led to your employment being terminated, we will be pleased to advise you on whether you are entitled to resign and claim compensation for lost earnings.
