"I must say, the service was quick and professional... It was well worth £50 to know where we stand"

Ms SG.

Having a hard time finding a Job?

Are you a victim of unlawful discrimination? You could be entitled to £‘000s in compensation thanks to the Equality Act 2010,, from just £19.99.

Quick Start: I already know I have a discrimination claim and I want Click Law 24 to help me make it. (just click here)

For everyone else, read on:

Many people just like you apply for jobs for which they meet the job specification, but either do not get an interview, or even if they get an interview, still do not get offered the job. For some people, this is a regular and  depressing experience, leaving you feeling aggrieved and hurt. Why did another person get the job that you were perfectly suited for? Is it always the case that you were rejected because there were other candidates better qualified? Or is the reason something else, something more sinister, just maybe because your face didn’t fit?

It would be naïve to think that discrimination in the workplace is a thing of the past. The Employment Tribunals are daily filled with examples of employers discriminating unfairly on grounds of disability, race, age, sex, sexual orientation, etc. and many claimants win substantial compensation, including compensation for injury to feelings. If you feel that you have been the victim of discrimination when applying for jobs, help is at hand. You may be entitled to claim £’000s in compensation thanks to the Equality Act 2010 ( the Act).

It is prohibited under the Act for employers to discriminate against job candidates on grounds of Age, Disability, Race, Sex, Sexual Orientation, Religious Belief, Gender Re-assignment , Marriage or Civil Partnership ( the Protected Characteristics). Compensation can be claimed from employers who discriminate unfairly against candidates for jobs on grounds of one or more of  the protected characteristics.

However, making a claim for compensation can be a daunting task. How do you go about it? Do you need an expensive lawyer? What do you say to the employer? And, crucially, how much is a successful claim worth?

Well, help is at hand. Click Law 24 provides you with a low-cost fixed fee option which will enable you to make a claim for compensation against an employer who has discriminated against you.  Compensation for injury to your feelings could be anything from £500 in less serious cases, up to £30,000 in the most serious. For a small fixed-fee, you can make a claim without the need to hire a lawyer, so that you need not have your compensation eaten into by expensive lawyers charging £200 per hour or more.

With Click Law 24 you keep everything you recover using our easy-to-follow forms. All the documentation you will need to start an effective claim against the employer is provided. We even complete the details for you, so you can be sure that you will be able to produce  professional, solicitor-drafted documentation, which gives you the best chance of recovering compensation early, without the need to issue Employment Tribunal proceedings. And, if you cannot recover compensation without going to the Employment Tribunal, we show you how to do that as well: Free of any additional charges once you have paid our single  low-cost fixed fee.

So, why delay? For a small outlay you may be able to  recover thousands of  pounds in compensation. Why not give it a go today? What is there to lose? After all: nothing ventured, nothing gained.

Click Law 24 gives you simple to use, 24/7 access to the professionally-drafted documents you will need to start a claim, and to increase your chances of a successful outcome, all for a single low-cost fixed-fee. And, you can pay on-line as well using VISA, Paypal, or any major credit or debit card. It couldn’t be simpler. We’ve done all the hard work for you. Now all you have to do is claim what’s yours.

But, isn’t this terribly hard on employers? Well, no. The Equality Act 2010 sets out clear guidelines for employers to follow. And besides, Discrimination legislation similar to the Equality Act 2010 has been around for over 35 years. There really is no excuse for an employer not to ensure that it does not unfairly discriminate in the jobs market in this day and age. So, if your claim makes the errant employer mend their ways, you may be saving others in future from suffering the wrong which has been done to you.

 
 
To begin your claim for compensation for discrimination in respect of your recent job application, please complete the following form:

Important Note: If you are unable to reach a voluntary settlement with the employer to whom you applied for a job, and if you wish to pursue your claim further, you must bring Employment Tribunal proceedings within 3 months of the date of the incident complained of ( usually time runs from the earliest of: the letter of rejection or if none, the date of the interview, or if none the date your application was sent). Whilst the employment Tribunal does have jurisdiction to extend time, that will only be exercised sparingly. So, in order to ensure any claim you subsequently bring is in time, you must comply with the 3 month time limit.

Note: The field below places a valuation on your claim dependant upon whether or not your claim falls in to the lower, middle or upper band for injury-to-feelings compensation claims. The Court of appeal case which set out these 3 bands is known as Vento v The Chief Constable of Yorkshire Police [2002]. The circumstances which apply to each band, and the amount of each band are as follows:
  • Lower: this band is for less serious cases and those involving a single incident. It is likely that most claims relating to job applications will fall into this category. The minimum compensation payable under this band is between £500 and £750 up to a maximum of £6,000.
  • Middle: This band is for the more serious cases and those where more than one incident of discrimination has occurred. The minimum compensation payable for a middle band case is £6,000 and the maximum is £18,000.
  • Upper: This band is for the most serious cases and those where discrimination has occurred over a longer period. The minimum value for the Upper Band is £18,000 and the upper limit is £30,000.
In addition, if you have any other specific losses which are due to the discrimination, you may add them to your claim.

I have read the above notes, and I assess my claim as falling into the following “Vento Band”:

(see the notes above on Vento bands for injury to feelings, and remember to add in any specific losses you have incurred. If in doubt you may wish to choose a mid-point figure from the relevant Vento band. You can always negotiate downwards to achieve a settlement.)
Once payment has been made, the completed documentation will be automatically sent to your e-mail inbox. So, check your e-mail. You may then either print-off and post the documentation to the employer/Agency, or e-mail the documentation if you have their e-mail address.

THANK YOU FOR USING CLICK LAW 24. We wish you every success with your claim.
