After raising concerns at work, my client was offered a Settlement Agreement to leave her employment and waive her employment rights and claims. I was delighted to assist my client by identifying the Employment Tribunal claims (including discrimination under the Equality Act 2010) she would be waiving if she signed the Settlement Agreement and advising on her options.

It is a concern of many people with health conditions that if they are obliged to disclose information about their health during the recruitment process, it may have a negative impact on their application and their chances of being selected for the role. Section 60 of the Equality Act 2010 addresses the problem of discrimination against disabled people in recruitment by imposing a general prohibition on employers from asking potential recruits questions about their health. There are however exceptions and an employer may be able to ask health questions for particular reasons.

Disabled employees and workers have additional rights and protections in the workplace through the Equality Act 2010. Such rights are protections are clearly needed as recent studies have identified that almost half of disabled people in employment consider they have suffered in the workplace because of their disability.
Unfortunately, public perceptions of what is and is not a disability can lead to misunderstandings about who is protected under the Equality Act 2010. I often speak to people who are struggling at work because of a physical or mental condition and did not know they had rights and protections available to them.
Here at Lincs Law Employment Solicitors we, unfortunately, receive many calls from clients who feel they are being “victimised” at work. However, victimisation has a very specific meaning in law. Please read on to find out more.
