Including, but not exclusively, race, gender and sexual orientation.
Many dismissal claims also include a discrimination element. Employers are often more worried about the discrimination aspect of such claims than the dismissal claim itself. Discrimination claims do not require a minimum length of employment and so it can be made related to a dismissal where the employee cannot claim for unfair dismissal, because they have not been employed for 2 years.
Is my race affecting my treatment at work?
If you think you’re being overlooked for promotion despite strong performance, if you’re receiving harsher treatment than your colleagues, or are being subjected to racial comments or jokes, you may be subject to racial discrimination.
What does gender reassignment discrimination look like at work?
Signs include being refused time off for transition-related appointments, being deliberately misgendered by colleagues. It is unlawful for an employer to treat you less favourably because of your gender reassignment.
Does the law protect me at work because of my sexual orientation?
Yes, the law protects people of all sexual orientations from unfair treatment at work. This covers both direct treatment and indirect policies that may disadvantage people of a particular sexual orientation.
What behaviour counts as harassment at work?
Harassment is any unwanted conduct that violates your dignity or creates a hostile and humiliating workplace. Harassment doesn’t have to be intentional, and a single serious incident can be enough to file a complaint.
What does it mean to be victimised at work?
Victimisation is when your employer treats you differently because you made or supported a discrimination complaint. This could include being pushed out of your role or discounted for promotion.
Showed considerable determination and resilience in seeing the sale through to completion despite what proved to be a very challenging and complicated transaction. Her professionalism and expertise was very much valued throughout.
Extremely efficient... with all the knowledge, experience and professionalism you would hope from a lawyer. And beyond that, she also excellently managed the relational side of getting a deal done as well as the technical side.
I found the whole experience completely stress free... I appreciated the clarity in emails, phone calls and invoices.
Absolutely fantastic. Attention to detail, polite, efficient and extremely professional. I would not hesitate to recommend. Five Stars.
Very impressed by how rigorous, systematic, proactive our solicitor Roland Jones has been. Everything that he said or wrote was very clear. Whenever I didn't know about something, he offered very clear explanations that went straight to the point.
Robyn helped us settle our matter, across language and cultural issues, and avoided us going to court, and contained costs.
