Discrimination Legislation: Mind the Pitfalls

If you aren’t sure how the Jersey discrimination laws apply to your business and employees, then join Rachel Lucas for this practical and informative free webinar Monday 13th December, 12pm.

Discrimination laws don’t just apply to what you do as an employer, but you are also liable for what your employees do in the workplace, whether you were aware of the act or not. Complaints can be made against both the individual who perpetrated the discrimination, managers who condoned it, and the employer.

What will you learn?

  • What are the protected characteristics in law and a practical overview of the legislation.
  • How the legislation applies in a work and employment context.
  • Focus on disability, but also cover the updates to age discrimination in relation to retirement.
  • Explore the implications for employers, including case studies.
  • You will gain an understanding of where the risk areas are and how to put process and policy in place to avoid or minimise those risks.
