Indirect discrimination

Indirect discrimination occurs when a seemingly neutral rule or policy unintentionally disadvantages a particular group of people. For example, a company requiring all employees to work on Saturdays might unintentionally disadvantage employees of certain religious backgrounds that observe Saturday as a special day. While the policy applies to everyone equally, it can unfairly impact some groups more than others. Addressing this type of discrimination involves ensuring that policies do not put certain groups at a disadvantage unless there's a good reason for it, and considering adjustments to accommodate everyone fairly.
