Fostering Good Employment Practices
The Equality Act 2010 is the primary legislation which makes it unlawful to discriminate against a disabled person in terms of recruitment, employment and promotion opportunities. There are numerous other statutes and case laws which cover additional aspects of these issues. The definition of disability and the rights and responsibilities of employers are complex subjects. Without clear-cut guidance, an employer can face significant and costly legal problems.
Tobins Solicitors LLP can provide training on recruitment practices and other employment matters designed to help your company comply with the law. If a particular problem does arise, we will vigorously represent you in all appropriate legal venues.
Representing Employees
Tobins Solicitors LLP provides assertive representation to people who have suffered discrimination in the workplace due to disability or illness. This includes cases involving all types of disability discrimination, including: harassment, victimisation and associative discrimination.
Under the law, an employer has the duty to provide "reasonable adjustment" which allows a disabled person to perform his or her job duties. This could be something as simple as a low vision computer monitor or time off for regular visits to a doctor. If your employer has failed to provide reasonable adjustment, you may have a case. Tobins Solicitors LLP can represent you.
In a free initial telephone consultation, a solicitor at our firm can review your case. We will discuss options to fund ant potential claim. If your claim has merit, we will seek compensation for you through a negotiated settlement or representation at employment tribunal level and beyond.
