What is disability-related discrimination?
As above, disabillity-related discrimination is less favourable treatment of a person for a reason related to their disability compared to a person without a disability. So, if an employee cannot perform as well, because of their disability, then any treatment they receive must be compared to someone who performs well or appropriately, because the reason for the poor performance is disability related. Disability-related discrimination can, in certain circumstances, be justified.
