Asda start the process against Age Discrimination
Regulation
Asda get
a head with Age Discrimination by taking the date of birth off all UK
application forms. Do other Companies need to follow...
Sally Laughton an Employment
expert at Andersons Solicitors comments
“Asda has taken a cautious
approach by removing dates of birth from application forms. However, companies
do need to review all of their policies and importantly their recruitment
policies including application forms to ensure that they are not perceived to
discriminate on the grounds of age.
With
1 month to go until the new regulations come into force, companies need to check
their policies and procedures as a matter of urgency.
We’re
finding a last minute surge with clients contacting us regarding this as it
seems they’ve put it to the back of their finds until now!”
