Religion At Work: What Does The Law Say? With Shoosmiths LLP Part I

Could your workplace policies be indirectly or directly discriminating against employees of faith?

There have been an increasing number of court cases relating to religious and philosophical belief in the workplace in recent years.

In the first two episodes of our new podcast series examining religion at work, Professor Binna Kandola OBE is joined by two employment experts from the law firm Shoosmiths, Simon Fennell and Amy Leech, a Partner and Senior Associate at the firm respectively.

In Part I, they examine:

• The legislation around religious (and non-religious) belief as a protected characteristic in the workplace.
• Recent examples from case law
