Discrimination means that the employer has not treated the worker in the same way as other workers because of the worker's:
- Sex
- Religious beliefs
- Colour
- Ethnicity
- Age
- Employment status
- Sexual orientation
- Marital status
- Ethical beliefs
- Race
- Disability
- Political opinion
- Family status
- Union involvement
If you believe that you have been discriminated against, you can choose to take a Personal Grievance under the ERA 2000 or take a complaint to the Human Rights Commission (except for discrimination based on your union involvement). You can't do both.
If you choose to complain to the Human Rights Commission , the toll-free telephone number is 0800 496 877 within New Zealand.
