Employment Equality (Sexual Orientation) Regulations

The Employment Equality (Sexual Orientation) Regulations protect employees from discrimination based on their sexual orientation in the workplace. This means employers cannot unfairly treat, harass, or dismiss someone because they are lesbian, gay, or bisexual. The regulations cover recruitment, promotions, pay, training, and other employment rights. They aim to promote fair and equal treatment for all workers, regardless of their sexual orientation, fostering a more inclusive work environment. Any acts of discrimination or harassment related to sexual orientation are illegal under these regulations.
