Equal Pay Act 1970 - This law was introduced to make sure that women are paid the same as men when they do similar work., Race Relations Act 1976 - This law was introduced to stop people of one race, colour, nationality or ethnic origin being treated differently from those of other origins. Direct discrimination is when one worker gets better treatment than another does – perhaps being given promotion when another employee is actually better qualified. There are some exceptions to the law – for example, if, for some reason, the job must be carried out by someone of a particular race, such as a waiter in a Chinese restaurant., Employment Rights Act 1996 - The business does not need to give a worker a written contract of employment but it must give a ‘statement of particulars’ within eight weeks of starting work. This states the job title, the hours the person must work, details of the job, the pay, when the worker will be paid, what deductions will be taken from the pay, how much notice must be given to end the contract and any disciplinary rules that apply to the employee., Disability Discrimination Act 1995 - The Act is designed to give equal opportunities to disabled people when recruiting staff. Employers cannot discriminate against disabled people when recruiting staff. They are expected to make reasonable changed to premises to permit access and mobility around them. They have to provide appropriate equipment so that disabled people can work., Minimum Wage Legislation - This was introduced to stop workers from being exploited by employers. It applies to people over the age of 18. For people in the age range 18-21 the minimum hourly wage rate is less than for those aged 22 years and over. There are some exceptions to the legislation, including members of the armed forces. The rate is reviewed, and usually increased, each year., Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 - The law makes it the responsibility of the employer to protect workers from dangers in the workplace. Responsibilities include providing safety equipment, washing facilities and toilets, and adequate breaks., Sex Discrimination Act 1975 - This law was introduced to stop males or females being treated differently from members of the opposite sex. A job advertisement that says the job is for a woman would be breaking the law. There are some exceptions – for example, if, for some reason, the job must be carried out by someone of a particular sex (such as a female PE teacher who would need to deal with female pupils in the changing room).,
