This law also guides the worker about his/her health and safety at work. The lawyer who is a practioner of the law sees that his/her client does not suffer from discrimination at work by the employer.

Situations where the law is applicable

You as a worker might feel that your boss discriminates you in the workplace or if you knowingly /unknowingly break any law that is being put forward by the organisation then a lawyer who knows this law can come to your help.
