Discrimination in the workplace is a very serious matter. Did you know that if your business is faced with a discrimination claim, you could face an uncapped fine.
Not only is it costly from a financial perspective, it can also have very serious reputational issues for a business too.
There are nine protected characteristics under the legislation.
It is against the law to discriminate against anyone because of:
Age
