Summary

Are you an employer? Do you worry about employees making a claim against you regarding equal opportunities?

This ‘Download Now’ Equal Opportunities Policy will take away the difficulty of creating an equal opportunities policy for your business.

Equal opportunities policies are simple to create with Lawpack’s Equal Opportunities Policy. It clearly sets out the responsibilities on both sides and helps to avoid any future employment disputes.

It is important that employees understand what is deemed to be acceptable and unacceptable behaviour in relation to equal opportunities. If the employer did have a claim of discrimination against it, having an equal opportunity policy that was used by the employer could be used as part of the defence against the claim.

The ready-drafted Equal Opportunities Policy sets out the expectations of the employer and the duties of the employer and employee regarding equal opportunities, as required by law.

Your Equal Opportunities Policy covers the important issues, including:

Non-discrimination on the basis of gender, marital status, race, colour, ethnic origin, disability, sexual orientation, transgender status, religion, belief or age
Non-acceptance of harassment
Complaints procedure
Confidentiality
Monitoring
Training
