What constitutes discrimination?
Discrimination means treating a person unfairly because of who they are. It is unlawful to treat a person differently due to their age, disability, race, religion, sex, sexual orientation, marriage or civil partnership, pregnancy and gender reassignment.
Claim unfair dismissal
If you want to dispute the termination of your work contract and claim unfair dismissal a legal expert can handle your case and represent you.
Settlement Agreement
If you are looking to reach an out-of-court settlement to resolve a dispute with your employer, a legal service provider will negotiate on your behalf.
Frequently asked questions
How do I claim discrimination at work?
You should talk to your employer first to try to sort out the problem informally. If the issues cannot be resolved, you will need to make a claim to the employment tribunal. You usually have 3 months from when the event happened to bring a claim.
Can I lose my job for speaking out?
No! Your employer will be acting illegally if they fire you for making a discrimination claim or highlighting an inequality in company policy. You should not be afraid to seek the assistance of a legal service provider.
How much can you claim for discrimination at work?
There is no statutory maximum amount of compensation you can claim for discrimination, but the average award is around £18,000. Your solicitor can help you decide how much you should be claiming for based on your circumstances.
What will it cost to bring a discrimination claim?
Most legal service providers charge on a fixed fee or hourly rate basis depending on how complex the case is, so make sure to compare solicitors to find the best one for you.
What is the burden of proof in a discrimination claim?
The burden of proof is the obligation that you provide evidence to the tribunal that the discrimination took place. Your solicitor can help you put together the facts to provide this.
