What are the dangers of an employer failing to comply with equal opportunities obligations?
By failing to comply with their obligations on equal opportunities in the workplace, an employer runs the risk of complaints being made by a disgruntled worker or job applicant.
In circumstances where a grievance cannot be resolved internally at work, this could lead to a formal complaint being lodged with an employment tribunal, leaving company owners to defend a costly and time-consuming unlawful discrimination or unfair dismissal case.
