RACIAL HARASSMENT CLAIM

Our national panel of solicitors specialise in claims arising as a result of employment disputes including racial harassment and discrimination. They act on behalf of clients using the no win no fee scheme which means that if your solicitor does not succeed in obtaining compensation on your behalf then your solicitor will not get paid. Employment law is challenging, complex, difficult and in a constant state of flux with changes to the law occurring frequently as a result of legislation and case law.

Offensive Behaviour

This unacceptable behaviour is conduct which is offensive, unwelcome and unreasonable which results in a humiliating, hostile or intimidating environment and may include;

• racist jokes and banter
• offensive language
• innuendoes
• practical jokes
• display of racist publications
• notes containing insults
• physical assault
• abusive e-mail messages
• racist terminology

Once is Enough

Just one serious instance may be enough to justify an award of compensation by the Employment Tribunal which can award an amount for aggravated damages if the behaviour has been particularly offensive. There is no limit to the amount of compensation that can be awarded in these cases and there is no minimum period of employment necessary to qualify for an award.

Employment Tribunal

Applications for compensation for racial harassment are made to the Employment Tribunal which can award compensation including an award for substantial aggravated damages if the behaviour has been particularly offensive. There is no limit to the amount of compensation that can be awarded by the Employment Tribunal in discrimination cases.
