Age Discrimination Claims

The employment laws in the UK aim to protect people from age discrimination in the workplace. If you feel that you have suffered age discrimination, you may be entitled to claim compensation.

At DSM Legal our employment law solicitors provide an initial consultation completely free of charge. If you have a strong age discrimination claim we can discuss with you how best to fund your compensation claim, for example on a no win no fee basis.

Employment law relating to age discrimination is complex and examples of such age discrimination are:

Direct Age Discrimination, which occurs when an employer treats a person less favourably than he would another, on grounds of age (unless the treatment can be justified).

Indirect Age Discrimination occurs when an employer applies a provision, practice or criterion to the whole workforce, but which puts persons of the Claimant's age at a disadvantage. However, again the employer can argue that the indirect age discrimination is justified.

Victimization of a person who brought or is considering bringing an age discrimination claim under the Employment Equality (Age) Regulations 2006 is also unlawful and can give rise to a further compensation claim.

Harassment is unwanted conduct on the grounds of a victim's age with the effect of violating the victim's dignity or creating an intimidating, degrading, humiliating or hostile environment for the victim.

Time limits to bring an age discrimination claim are very strict - if you think you may have an age discrimination compensation claim you should act quickly.
