If you have been discriminated against at work then mosshaselhurst can help by acting for you in trying to re-establish your self-respect.
The discrimination team at mosshaselhurst will be able to help resolve the situation by making your case and seeking an appropriate redress.
We offer a highly confidential service which can begin with an initial free consultation of approximately half an hour. From this point we can then discuss your case in more detail.
Types of discrimination
Equal pay
Both men and women employees have a right to equal pay. What this means is the same pay for the same work. This includes basic pay and all benefits. As an employee, you are entitled to submit a questionnaire to an employer requesting information about the pay of other employees if you feel that you may have a claim.
mosshaselhurst can help in preparing this questionnaire and help you prepare your case for equal pay.
Discrimination on the grounds of sex or marital status
Discrimination on the grounds of sex or marital status is something that mosshaselhurst can help you with. Discrimination on the grounds of race or ethnic origin, religion or age.
It is key to know that in looking at discrimination, the comparison does not have to be with a real person – it may be with a hypothetical one.
Other grounds for discrimination
Discrimination on the grounds of disabilty is another area where mosshaselhurst can help. It’s worth noting that legal protection from discrimination starts from the point of recruitment and in some cases may go on beyond, following the end of your employment.
