1. When does the AGG protect from discrimination at work?
At the workplace people may not be discriminated against on account of
- race,
- ethnicity,
- gender,
- religion or belief,
- a disability,
- age or
- sexual identity.
The General Equal Treatment Act (AGG) prohibits discrimination on account of these protected characteristics – in all areas of working life, for instance with regard to payment, promotions or working hour models.
