Equality and Human Rights Commission

If your employer is making a decision, or taking action following a decision, about how to manage you, equality law applies to what they are doing.

Equality law applies:

• whatever the size of your organisation
• whatever sector you work in
• whether your employer has one worker or 10 or hundreds or thousands
• whether or not your employer uses any formal processes or forms to help them make decisions or manage your workers.

Pages in this section include:
