Is giving less annual leave and paid sick leave discrimination?

Ruth

Hi,

Can anyone help with this?

If a new employee is hired with a company, on a permanent contract, but is given less annual leave and less paid sick leave than everyone else at the same company, is this considered to be discrimination? (All other employees have the same contract, i.e. have the same amount of annual leave and paid sick leave as each other),

Thanks in advance,

Ruth

  • And adding to the excellent advice given by forum colleagues how will these different terms be explained to the new hire since inevitably employees chat and exchange information and therefore find out the different treatment? I am reminded of a similar situation where one individual exceeded their holiday entitlement following a discussion with other colleagues which lead her to incorrectly understand her holiday entitlement. The difference at the time was down to grades. But it did contribute to a difficult and bad tempered conversation.
