Employment law support on
the impact of age discrimination
As from the 1st October 2006 discrimination on the grounds of age became unlawful. This extends to employees, workers, partners, applicants and does not just apply to the old but also to the young. An employer must be careful not to discriminate on the grounds of age in recruitment, benefits, training, terms and conditions of employment, performance management and disciplinary and dismissal proceedings. Employers must look at all aspects of their business, including the recruitment process, advertising and the interviewing process.
