The Garden Court Employment & Discrimination Law Team is pleased to announce that ‘A Practical Guide to Age Discrimination in the Workplace’ co-authored by Rosa Thomas is out now.
‘A Practical Guide to Age Discrimination in the Workplace’ is an essential companion for anyone involved in age discrimination claims before the Employment Tribunal.
It is intended for practitioners and litigants in person, this book demystifies the legal framework and practical steps involved. With accessible language and a clear structure, it helps readers understand how age discrimination is defined, claimed, proven and defended in the eyes of the law.
From defining comparators to understanding where to pitch injury to feelings awards, and from drafting pleadings to the use of statistics, every chapter offers hands-on advice grounded in real cases and statutory guidance. The book also includes discussion of thorny age-related topics such as retirement, menopause and workplace banter.
With workplace demographics shifting and age-related claims on the rise, this timely guide empowers users to take informed action.
A practical, step-by-step resource for those on either side of a dispute, it offers clarity, confidence, and strategic insight in what can be a complex and emotionally charged process.
