Discrimination may occur in different forms from colleagues, employers or clients. A number of preventive labor discrimination laws have been passed aimed to protect the worker.
Laws for discrimination include:
The Equality Act prohibits discrimination based on sex, gender identity and gender expression.
The Non-Discrimination Act forbids discrimination on the grounds of age, origin, nationality, language, religion, belief, opinion, political activity, trade unions, family relationships, health status, disability, sexual orientation, or other person-related causes.
The right person for the job is whoever gets it done
Work does not discriminate
Harassment, instruction, or a command to discriminate, as well as the refusal of reasonable adaptation for a disabled individual.
Raise the issue with your employer. In this case, it is possible to ascertain whether discrimination has taken place, or whether there has been a legitimate reason behind the difference in treatment.
For example, discrimination has not taken place if:
Don’t let prejudice come between work and a worker
