Handling cases of age discrimination is one of the many cases dealt with by employment solicitors. Discrimination in employment on the grounds of an employee's age is unlawful. The Age Regulations which came into effect in 2006 were replaced by the provisions of the Equality Act 2010 prohibiting age discrimination. This Act protects employees from age discrimination in recruitment, employment terms and conditions, promotions, transfers, dismissals and vocational training.
The Regulations outlaw different types of behaviour: direct and indirect discrimination, victimisation and harassment. Direct discrimination may also arise where a person is discriminated against because he/she was associated with somebody of a particular age or age group. In some circumstances, the Regulations also prohibit discrimination after the employment or working relationship has come to an end.Visit us : http://cainandcochran.co.uk
