Working with employers, we have developed a set of frequently asked questions, which focus on some of the main issues that employers are facing today. These include:
- Time off work – breaks during work hours and extended periods of leave
- Recruitment – requests that might be made at interview
- Food and dietary requirements – providing food and drink at work and issues around fasting
- Dress codes and religious symbols – objections or requests to change dress codes or the wearing of religious symbols
- Opting out of work duties – handling meat or alcohol or when delivering a service
- Expressing personal views and beliefs at work – discussions in the workplace, views that may discriminate against or harass another group
These are some of the most common issues that employers told us about but, often, it is about using the same approach and applying it to different situations. See our decision-making tool to help you handle employee requests.
