The Equality Act came into existence on 1st October 2010 and its main motto is to ensure that discrimination does not exist while selecting the candidates. The primary aim of this statute is to ensure that discrimination law is harmonised and equality should be promoted with the help of law. It covers all the groups that were previously protected by the prevailing equality legislation and they are termed as “protected characteristics” (Smith, 2013). The protected characteristics stand for race, religion, sex and disability. According to the Human Rights Act, discrimination on wages should not exist between that of the employees. Difference in wages should be on the basis of skill and responsibility. Experience and seniority system should determine the differentiation in salary. The questions should be asked during interview in such a way that the applicants should get a fair chance in respect to the job needs (Wilton, 2016).
