Bullying and Sexual Harassment in the workplace

Bullying and Sexual Harassment in the workplace

Employers are obliged to create a work environment free of bullying and harassment by putting in place policies designed to prevent bullying or harassment occurring and not just to deal with incidents when they arise.

Equality issues under the Equality Acts, 1998-2010

All employees have the right to be treated equally regardless of gender, marital status , family status, sexual orientation, age , disability, race, religious belief or membership of the travelling community in work and when seeking work. Discrimination on any of these nine grounds during the recruitment process or in the workplace is unlawful.

We have vast experience in representing clients at the Equality Appeals Tribunal and in securing successful determinations for them together with awards of compensation for any unlawful form of discrimination which they have been deemed to suffer in the course of their employment.
