Employment Equality (Religion or Belief) Regulations 2003
- Employment Equality (Religion or Belief) Regulations 2003
The Employment Equality (Religion or Belief) Regulations 2003 is a new plank of United Kingdom labour law designed to combat discrimination in relation to people's religion or belief, or absence of religion or belief. They were introduced in order to comply with the European Union Directive 2000/78/EC and complement similar measures on sexuality, age, disability, race and gender discrimination. The EU Directive in turn is similar to legislation passed in the United States.
