Legal Obligations and Menopause - New Employer Guidance

New guidance aimed at helping employers to understand their legal obligations relating to employees who are going through the menopause has been published by the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC).

The resource also provides details on the support employers should be providing to affected employees.

The EHRC sets out that if menopause symptoms have a long-term and substantial impact on a woman's ability to carry out normal day-to-day activities, they could be considered a disability, meaning an employer would be under a legal obligation to make reasonable adjustments. They would also be under a legal obligation not to directly or indirectly discriminate because of the disability or subject the woman to discrimination arising from the disability.

The guidance, which includes a number of instructive videos, can be accessed on the EHRC's website.

It was a pleasure meeting you and exchanging legal knowledge and views. We were particularly impressed by your considerable experience, coupled with practical application.
Professional, trustworthy, thorough service.
Straightforwardness, kindness, accessibility, attention to detail, good communication ability to listen. I have had excellent professional service from Andrew Baldwin since 1986.
This is the 3rd time I have used Huggins Law and I have always had a good experience, Joyce Owusu Afari, Vishal Amin and Ann Hines have always been easy to communicate with and it does feel like you have someone on your side, fighting your corner when things go askew. Always willing to recommend to anyone who will listen..

The service delivery from solicitor was excellent. They kept me informed and explained everything in easy language for me to understand. I had confidence in solicitor dealing with my case as they demonstrated knowledge in this particular area, and had my best interest as a client in mind. I will definitely recommend them to family and friends

my husband and I wanted to update our existing Wills that were with another solicitor, Huggins Lewis and Foskett were very helpful and made the experience very easy and straightforward, far more efficient than the solicitor we were with originally.
