(GBR) Understanding Disability and Discrimination Act Regulatory Requirements in the U.K.
The Disability and Discrimination Act of 1995 makes it unlawful for any U.K. employer to discriminate in relation to recruitment, promotion, training, benefits, terms and conditions of employment, and dismissal against individuals based on their disability. It requires companies of 20 or more workers to hire a specified percentage of disabled persons.
In addition, employers are required to make reasonable adjustments and accommodations for the disabled worker, such as adjusting the premises, altering working hours, allocating duties to another person, and acquiring or modifying equipment.
Use the Accommodation Data component in Report Regulations (UK) to track and document the company's efforts to make accommodations for disabled employees.
Before using this component, set up codes in these tables:
Accommodation Type table.
Diagnosis table.
Job Tasks table.
Job Code Task table.
You use three pages—the Accommodation Request page, the Accommodation Option page, and the Accommodation Job Task page—to track data showing that the company has no discriminatory practices against people with disabilities. When employees or applicants request that you make accommodations that enable them to perform job tasks, you can track the steps that bring those requests to resolution.
