Do the right thing
Discrimination against any employees on any grounds other than their ability to do the job is a bad idea - and could also be illegal.
If an employee or potential employee brings a discrimination case against your business, you could be tied up in costly, time-consuming and unproductive legalities for months. If they win, you could be liable for unlimited damages.
This briefing explains:
- Which areas of discrimination are covered by law.
- What constitutes discrimination.
- How to cut the risks of unintentional discrimination.
- What to do if a case is brought against you.
- Legal exceptions.
