If you face discrimination at work, know that laws like the Equality Act 2010 protect your rights. It's important to discuss the issue with someone you trust and consider formal steps to address it.
Employers are obliged to investigate and address complaints of discrimination, ensuring proper resolution.
Lodging a complaint triggers your employer's grievance procedure, designed to handle such issues according to policy and law.
If unresolved, you can take your complaint to an employment tribunal for legal adjudication.
The tribunal can offer remedies like compensation or corrective actions if your claim is successful.
In cases of indirect discrimination, the tribunal will carefully assess all aspects before determining remedies.
Complaints can extend beyond employers to include co-workers, consultants, or contractors.
Individuals can be personally liable for discriminatory acts, though there are exceptions based on the employer's assurances.
Employers providing false assurances leading to unlawful acts can face criminal charges and penalties.
Understanding your rights and the procedures for addressing workplace discrimination is crucial for ensuring a fair and respectful work environment.
