Racial Discrimination Compensation

Racial discrimination compensation claims are dealt with using UK race discrimination legislation. The act makes racial discrimination unlawful. Racial discrimination compensation claims are considered by the Employment Tribunal.

Race Discrimination

A racial discrimination claim regarding employment law arises when a person of either sex is treated less favourable than they might otherwise have been treated on the basis of race, colour, descent or national or ethnic origin. The statute applies to actual employment, seeking employment, training, promotion, equal pay or conditions of employment and applies equally to both sexes and those of all ages.

Subjective Test

It does not matter whether or not the offending party intended to cause offence or not. If the aggrieved party was subjected to behaviour that they found to be offensive and discriminatory then that behaviour can potentially be used to ground a racial discrimination compensation claim. Typically this behaviour involves a number of incidents however just one serious incident is sufficient to take legal action.
