Employment Equality (Disability) Regulations

The Employment Equality (Disability) Regulations ensure that individuals with disabilities have equal opportunities in the workplace. They prohibit discrimination in hiring, promotion, pay, training, and dismissal based on disability. Employers must make reasonable adjustments to accommodate employees’ needs to enable them to perform their jobs effectively. The regulations promote inclusive workplaces by emphasizing fair treatment and preventing unfair practices, ensuring that disability does not unfairly limit employment rights or opportunities. Overall, they aim to create a more equitable working environment for everyone, regardless of physical or mental impairments.
