Description

The Employment Equality Act 1998 prohibits discrimination in the workplace across nine grounds: gender, civil status, family status, age, disability, race, sexual orientation, religious belief, and membership of the Traveller community. The Act promotes equality in employment and ensures equal treatment in recruitment, pay, promotion, and workplace conditions. It also addresses harassment and victimization in the workplace. Employers are required to provide reasonable accommodation for employees with disabilities unless it causes undue hardship.
