Discrimination at work

Discrimination at Work? We can help.

Our Employment Solicitors are here to help and advise you on a variety of employment issues including discrimination, bullying, and harassment at work. We are available over a phone call, email, or in person, whatever suits you.

Workplace discrimination usually takes place because of employees’ protected features.  Discrimination in the workplace is illegal, and there are laws to protect you. This discrimination is difficult to deal with, and you’ll need legal assistance to protect your rights. Our professional lawyers are always here to advise, guide, and assist you in filing a compensation claim of workplace discrimination against your employer.

The protected traits were established by the Equality Act of 2010. According to this act, discrimination based on the following aspects is legally prevented:

  • Age discrimination
  • Disability discrimination
  • Gender discrimination
  • Marriage or civil partnership
  • Maternity discrimination
  • Pregnancy
  • Race discrimination
  • Religious discrimination
  • Sexual discrimination

How our Employment Law Solicitors can help?

Our specialist employment solicitors strive for a quick and satisfactory outcome Instead of a long-lasting and damaging conflict. They are well-versed in all aspects of employment law and provide independent legal advice when disputes arise. Our expert solicitors assist you on various employment matters, including settlement agreements, unfair dismissal, employment contracts, and harassment at work.

Some examples of workplace discrimination:

Many employees face illegal workplace discrimination, which means they are mistreated because of their protected traits. The following are some examples:

  • Unequal pay: An individual gets paid less than another employee doing the same job because of a protected feature, such as a woman being often paid less than a man.
  • Maternity discrimination occurs when a pregnant employee is fired for less attendance because of her pregnancy.
  • Age discrimination: When an employee aged 50+ is chosen to be made redundant over a younger employee with less experience and skill, this is known as age discrimination.
  • Unfair rules: For example, when believers of a particular religion are permitted to wear religious symbols while the believers of another religion are not allowed to do so.
  • Race discrimination

When the discrimination is too severe, our solicitors are also experienced in arranging suitable separation settlements if you desire to exit your current workplace and join a company that provides a fair and more comfortable work environment. If the internal procedure of your employer is unable to assist you in reaching a fair resolution and you feel compelled to resign, we have considerable expertise in assisting our clients by filing constructive dismissal claims at employment tribunals. Before the resignation, it’s a good idea to get legal counsel.

We submit the applications along with all the required documentation and information on behalf of the client in time. We obtain updates and provide you with updates on your employment matters without delay.
