3.1.7. Differentiate between fair discrimination and unfair discrimination

Law

Fair discrimination- Discrimination means treating some people differently from others. It isn't always unlawful - after all, people are paid different wages depending on their status and skills. However, there are certain reasons for which your employer can't discriminate against you by law. Discrimination happens when an employer treats one employee less favourably than others. It could mean a female employee being paid less than a male colleague for doing the same job, or an employee from a minority ethnic community being refused the training opportunities offered to other colleagues.

There are specific laws against some types of discrimination (called 'unlawful discrimination'). If your employer treats you less favourably for an unlawful reason, you may be able to take action. If your employer treats you unfairly for any other reason, this is not unlawful discrimination.

There are laws against discrimination on the basis of your:

-gender
-marriage or civil partnership
-gender reassignment
-pregnancy and maternity leave
-sexual orientation
-disability
-race
-colour
-ethnic background
-nationality
-religion or political opinion
-age

Unfair discrimination- Unfair discrimination is when you are treated differently as compared to other categories of people and that your dignity as a human being is impaired by such treatment.

Discrimination is regarded as unfair when it imposes burdens or withholds benefits or opportunities from any person on one of the prohibited grounds listed in the Act, namely: race, gender, sex, pregnancy, ethnic or social origin, colour, sexual orientation, age, disability, religion, conscience, belief, culture, language and birth etc.

It is important to note that the Act does not prohibit discrimination but unfair discrimination.There are certain circumstances where discrimination can be regarded as fair e.g. measures designed to advance persons disadvantaged by the previous system of racial discrimination.

Cases for fair discrimination (read case)- The new amendments to the Employment Equity Act 55 of 1998 (the EEA) assist employers in defending unfair discrimination claims by enabling employers to show that the alleged unfair discrimination is justifiable. Prior to the amendment, an employer was only able to escape liability by showing that the discrimination in question was fair.

I need a reflection of civil contracts
Archy [21]

Answer:

A contract is an agreement between at least two natural or legal persons – the parties, or more specifically contractors – about what they will do with each other or for each other – the performance to be delivered – or not.

Contracts must be distinguished from obligations: an agreement creates an obligation, but the reverse is not always the case. If someone inflicts damage on another, this may result in an obligation to compensate it.

Sometimes a contract has a predetermined term, the period for which it applies.  These must in principle be fulfilled. If the other party does not fulfill an agreement, it can, if necessary, be enforced through the courts.

How community and public policies are organized and enacted?
lubasha [3.4K]

Answer:

Communities operate in the context of federal and state policies that can affect local government decisions relevant to health through laws and regulations, through the allocation of resources, and by shaping political will on issues and approaches. Among the more widely recognized policies are those that fund or regulate health care delivery services. But policies in a variety of areas, ranging from education to land use and housing, the environment, and criminal justice, can be relevant to health disparities. Policies can vary significantly across geographic areas and over time in establishing priorities, providing funding, or encouraging collaboration. They can provide important opportunities or constitute barriers to promoting health equity. The policy context shapes the levers that are available to communities to address change.

It seems reasonable to assume that the better informed communities are about the implications of federal and state policy and policy changes, the greater their ability will be to respond effectively to address health disparities and help achieve change in the determinants of health. And, conversely, the more the needs of communities are considered in decision making at the federal and state levels, the more effective those policies will be. In other words, policy makers have the opportunity to lay the groundwork for community success. This policy context (i.e., socioeconomic and political drivers) is highlighted in the report’s conceptual model in Figure
