In the case of Ms. Y Pemberton v. RGB Legal Services Ltd, the employer faced significant consequences for failing to make reasonable adjustments for an employee with disabilities. The tribunal found that the employer did not adequately address the employee's needs, resulting in a ruling of discrimination.

What Went Wrong?
The employer neglected to implement necessary adjustments, which are required under the Equality Act 2010. This oversight not only led to a costly tribunal claim but also harmed the company's reputation and employee morale. Do you know what reasonable adjustments are, and how to apply them?

What Should Employers Do Instead?
1. Conduct Regular Assessments; Ensure the workplace is accessible and accommodates employees with disabilities.
2. Implement Necessary Adjustments: Make changes to the work environment or practices to support employees effectively.
3. Seek professional legal HR advice: disability matters can be extremely complex, always get advice before attempting to navigate on your own.
