DISCRIMINATION - Treating someone or a group of people unfairly because of their ethnicity,

gender, sexual orientation, or other characteristics, especially in comparison to how you treat
other people.
Discrimination in the workplace is unjust treatment of people, based on certain prejudices.
It can occur when an employee is treated unfavourably due to their gender, sexuality, race,
religion, pregnancy and maternity or disability.
Common examples of discrimination in the workplace include:

 pay discrimination, e.g. when a woman is paid less than a man for doing a
comparable job;
 disability discrimination, e.g. if a workplace doesn’t have disabled facilities, making
it impossible for someone with a disability to work there;
 discrimination based on an employee’s sexuality, e.g. refusing to employ someone
because they are gay.
However, discrimination can be a complex subject; it may not always be easy to identify.
Discrimination in the workplace does not have to be intentional or deliberate to breach
your rights. It is also possible for you to be discriminated against directly and indirectly.
Direct discrimination
If you are someone with a protected characteristic, but you are treated less favourably because
of that characteristic, this amounts to direct discrimination.
An example of this would be a situation in which an employee wasn’t offered a job or promotion
because they’re a woman.
Indirect discrimination
Indirect discrimination occurs where there is a policy, rule or requirement at work that
unjustifiably puts you and other people sharing your protected characteristic at a disadvantage
compared to others.
In other words, although you are treated the same as everyone else, you are put at a
disadvantage or it has a negative effect on you.
An example of indirect discrimination is an employer stating that all employees must work on
Saturdays – even those of the Jewish faith, for whom it is a religious day.
SCHOOL - A Black teacher made multiple attempts to achieve to the position of principle. When
she was unable to, she complained about human rights. The evidence as a whole showed that
during interviews and/or talks about transfer options, her race was brought up in an
unconnected manner. Transfer and promotion choices were influenced by racial factors, and
when black teacher asked for equal practices, they were told "not to expect things to change
suddenly."
So here in example she was discriminate based on her racial profile or race. It's unfortunate
because hindi naman nagmamatter yung race or color of skin niya sa position na inapplyan niya
and it's still happening now hindi lang sa school but also in other aspects and could happen in
the future, but I hope it doesn't.
CHURCH - For example, a person might be prohibited from engaging in a religious practice that
is in line with their principles by the policy of their workplace or by their management. Another
example would be when a person's workplace restricts their freedom to practice their beliefs.
Organization discrimination can also affect people that are affiliated with a religion. It is
considered discrimination if a person is being mocked, harassed, or otherwise treated unfairly
because of their religious beliefs.
A person cannot be subjected to discrimination at work because of their own religious
convictions. This involves traditional religion as well as serious spiritual beliefs. As long as it
doesn't affect business process, this may signal that the employer must make religious
accommodations for the employees.

Indirect discrimination EXAMPLE SCHOOL – applying a provision, criterion or practice in

the same way for all of a group which has the effect of unfairly disadvantaging people in the
group who share a particular characteristic, e.g., a school uniform policy banning
headgears for girls and boys may unfairly disadvantage Muslim girls and Jewish
boys.
Direct discrimination EXAMPLE CHURCH
Direct religious discrimination is when an employer treats someone less favourably than
other employees because of their religion.

 Dismissing an employee because of their religion

 Deciding not to hire an applicant because of their religion

Indirect Discrimination EXAMPLE CHURCH

Indirect discrimination happens when an organisation has a particular policy or way of working
that applies to everyone but which puts you at a disadvantage because of your religion or belief.
For example:

 you are Jewish and you finish early on Fridays in order to observe the Sabbath. Your
manager has changed the weekly team meetings from Wednesday afternoons to Friday
afternoons and you are therefore often absent

WORK - A woman is one of four people granted job interviews, from a pool of several dozen people
who sent in resumes by mail. When she appears in person, the interviewer seems surprised and
uncomfortable, does not make eye contact, and seems to hurry through the interview. The woman
feels that the interviewer assumed that she was a lesbian based on aspects of her gender
presentation, such as her hairstyle and clothing. She later learns that she did not get the position,
but the company does not explain its decision.
