Workplace discrimination: legal rights and protections in the UK
Our legal guides are written with the participation of its committee of expert lawyers.
Workplace discrimination occurs when an employee is treated unfairly due to characteristics such as age, gender, race, religion, disability, or sexual orientation. In the UK, the Equality Act 2010 protects individuals from discrimination at all stages of employment, from hiring to termination. This subcluster delves into the types of discrimination, such as direct, indirect, harassment, and victimization, as well as the legal remedies available. It provides guidance on identifying discrimination, filing complaints, and seeking justice through tribunals or mediation. These resources aim to empower employees to understand their rights and foster equality in the workplace.
