Discrimination Claims

Discrimination Claims

Workplace discrimination is a serious issue that can have devastating consequences for an individual’s career, well-being, and self-esteem. 

In the UK, employees are protected under the Equality Act 2010, which prohibits unfair treatment based on protected characteristics such as age, disability, gender reassignment, race, religion or belief, sex, sexual orientation, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity. 

At HPA Solicitors UK, we are committed to ensuring justice for those who have experienced discrimination in the workplace.

What Constitutes Discrimination?

Discrimination can manifest in various ways, including:

  • Direct Discrimination: Being treated less favorably than others due to a protected characteristic.
  • Indirect Discrimination: Workplace policies or practices that put certain groups at a disadvantage.
  • Harassment: Unwanted conduct that creates an intimidating, hostile, or degrading environment.
  • Victimisation: Being treated unfairly because you have raised a complaint about discrimination.

Types of Workplace Discrimination

  2. Gender Discrimination: Unequal pay, limited progression, or harassment due to gender.
