This employment law guide explores the basics of obesity and disability discrimination and offers guidance on how to avoid common pitfalls.
The Equality Act 2010 aims to protect employees from less favourable treatment within the workplace because they have a disability. Disability discrimination can arise in every stage of employment, from recruitment and selection to dismissal. Employers should be aware that a person does not have to be an employee to claim disability discrimination; it can occur before employment begins, for example job applicants can claim discrimination. A recent European Court of Justice (ECJ) judgment on obesity has thrown the spotlight back on disability discrimination. This document will address the issue as it currently stands.
