Discrimination – Employer fined $60,000
Discrimination is increasingly becoming a favourite method that employees are taking up to seek compensation and redress against employers.
A business was fined $60,000 recently for terminating the employment of 3 people because they were union members.
Discrimination comes in many guises and it may be wise to ensure you know your obligations.
You must not discriminate on the grounds of race/ethnicity, gender, association, sickness and illness, marital status, pregnancy, lawful sexual activity, disability, breastfeeding and many other matters.
Ensure you have up to date policies and procedures and your employers have been inducted and understand their responsibilities.
