(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.
