Discrimination
Discrimination law covers a wide range of situations and aims to ensure that everyone is given an equal opportunity not only when applying for a job but having obtained it, during the employment itself. It is possible to be discriminated against on the grounds of:
- race and religion
- sex and sexual orientation
- marital status
- disability
- age
- “other irrelevant ground” a new term introduced by the European Human Rights Convention
Employers are legally responsible for the actions of their employees so any claim you might have could be against both the person who has discriminated against you and your employer. There is no limit on the financial compensation which can be awarded but you do need to make sure that you bring your claim within a specified time limit.
