6. When section 60 of the Act was introduced, there was reaction to, and criticism of, the

First the two major criticisums which are upon equality act are mentioned below:
 This was not accepted by several organisations as it made them changes several rules
and regulations in the environemnt and made it very specefic for them o treat all the
employyes at the same level.

 The second most reason to not accept this act was that many people and society one
belongs from did not have the same mentality which severely created issues in places.
this also arised many issues and disputes which took a loy of time and changes to get
implemented.
The explanation for one of the points mentioned above, and its critical explantion:
the first critic of changing things and policies in organisations were changed. There
are many implemntations which were created as per requirement. Theire are many policies
and rules which were changes after this act was created. Many companies had to even change
working styles sicnce it did not work as per requirement in organisation.
7. Reading a case study take up a case study as per regulations:
The case tudy has 2 questions which are mentioned below:
a) Ameena’s employer must give consideration to providing Ameena with
an office on the ground floor of his premises.
The above mentioned statement is correct and it comes under considereation of
ameena's boss as they have to implemnt things as per requiremnt. Since her syndrome cannot
be clinically get treated now and then as her boss its his duty to provide a better working
standards. Under this act he needs to make such changes so that he can full fill all demands
required by her to work in such organisation.
b)
If Ameena’s employer treats her more favourably than non-disabled employees because of
her condition, the non-disabled employees can claim direct discrimination. In this case such
factors of discirminatory factors do not applu to people who do not belong from such
category.
No this stement is false, in such case this does not belong under discrimination, this is
just an extra thing the organisation is doing since they have to clearly define fact that, main
installation have to clear diffrence for helping her out in her difficult time.
