Скачать или смотреть How To Avoid A £185,000 Discrimination Claim To Your Business...

In the latest Astute Advantage Monthly Mythbuster, Tosh Polpitiye , owner and founder of Astute Law Limited, walks you through...

What I'd like to talk to you about in this video are four types of discrimination that employers should be aware of.

1: Direct discrimination
2: Indirect discrimination
3: Harassment
4: Victimisation

And getting those things wrong in the workplace could be worth a claim of up to about £45,000 for an injury to feelings award. So it's important to get those things dealt with and addressed right from the start.

The way to do that is to have the right rules in place that will address those sorts of things. Like anti-bullying policies or policies on selection, promotion, recruitment. Things that deal with disciplinaries, grievances, even time off work. You get those policies in place and people understand what is acceptable and what is not acceptable, and you're more likely to either avoid those types of claims from happening in the first place because you create the right environment, or if things do end up in court, you at least have the right defense.
