Racial Discrimination
Time Recruitment Services Ltd work within the guidelines of The Equality Act 2010 in which it makes it unlawful for an employer to discriminate against employees because of race, colour, nationality, ethnic or national origin.
We recognise that there are four types of race discrimination.
- Direct discrimination: treating someone less favourably because of their actual or perceived race, or because of the race of someone with whom they associate. An example of this could be refusing to employ someone solely because they are a particular race
- Indirect discrimination: can occur where there is a policy, practice or procedure which applies to all workers, but particularly disadvantages people of a particular race. An example could be a requirement for all job applicants to have GCSE Maths and English: people educated in countries which don’t have GCSEs would be discriminated against if equivalent qualifications were not accepted
- Harassment: when unwanted conduct related to race has the purpose or effect of violating an individual’s dignity or creating an intimidating, hostile, degrading, humiliating or offensive environment for that individual
- Victimisation: unfair treatment of an employee who has made or supported a complaint about racial discrimination
