Sexual Orientation and Gender Reassignment
An employer can discriminate against an employee on the grounds of sexual orientation or gender reassignment in many ways including:
- banter or inappropriate jokes by other members of staff about the sexual orientation or gender reassignment which result in an offensive, humiliating, intimidating or degrading atmosphere
- a failure to recruit or the way in which the recruitment process is handled
- a failure to promote
- a failure to train
- a failure to pay equally with comparable employees
We have advised employees on matters including:
- whether conduct amounts to gender reassignment or sexual orientation discrimination
- bringing claims on the grounds of discrimination
- settling claims
As with all other forms of discrimination claims, the amount of compensation that can be awarded is unlimited.
