Employers could fall foul of new equality laws

Help available say MLC

Legal changes being introduced in January could prove challenging for some employers on the Island, according to an MLC.

New equality laws are being introduced, to tackle discrimination on the basis of age, disability and gender.

Government's equality champion, Jane Poole-Wilson, says there's help available to explain what the changes mean for employers.

Mrs Poole-Wilson says assistance is especially targeted at smaller businesses.
