Whether or not an organisation knows about an employee’s disability is a key component of disability discrimination law and can give rise to some complex issues in practice.
An employer’s liability can depend on three different types of knowledge: actual knowledge, imputed knowledge and constructive knowledge. Practitioners who deal with this area of employment law will need to ensure they have a thorough understanding of these finer details when advising their clients.
Clare Brereton presents this succinct and informative webinar which will help you identify each type of knowledge and how each type can affect the claims that are brought, and their value.
