Discrimination
It is unlawful for an employer to discriminate against a worker in relation to their:
- Age
- Religion and belief
- Disability
- Sex (male, female or transgender)
- Race
- Sexual orientation (gay, lesbian, bisexual or heterosexual)
Discrimination legislation applies in a much broader set of circumstances than, for example, unfair dismissal. Discrimination may occur:
- Before employment has started (such as in a job interview or in the process used to select an applicant)
- During employment (in relation to areas such as pay, access to training or unfair treatment)
- At the termination of employment (such as dismissal for being of a particular race, for being pregnant or for having a disability)
- After your employment has ended (such as discrimination in a reference given to a new employer)
