What Is Sex Discrimination?
Sex discrimination occurs when someone is treated unfairly because of their gender. This applies to both men and women and is illegal under the Equality Act 2010. Examples of sex discrimination in the workplace include:
- Unequal Pay: Receiving less pay for the same or similar work as a colleague of a different sex.
- Promotion or Training: Being overlooked for advancement opportunities due to your gender.
- Sexual Harassment: Unwelcome comments, actions, or behaviour that create a hostile work environment.
- Pregnancy or Maternity Discrimination: Unfair treatment related to pregnancy or maternity leave.
If you’ve experienced any of these, we can help you take action.
