EQUAL OPPORTUNITIES POLICY Manchester United is an equal opportunities employer. Manchester United’s policy is not to discriminate either directly or indirectly against employees or persons seeking employment on the grounds of age, disability, ethnic origin, nationality or national origin, religion or belief, race or colour, gender or gender re-assignment, sexual orientation, marital status or family circumstances. Employees should note that discrimination on the grounds mentioned above is unlawful and Manchester United will not tolerate any direct or indirect discrimination, harassment, bullying and victimisation by its employees. For the purpose of this policy the following definitions are applicable: • Direct Discrimination – the treatment of one individual less favourably than another in the same or similar circumstances on the grounds of age, disability, ethnic origin, nationality or national origin, religion or belief, race or colour, gender or gender re-assignment, sexual orientation, marital status or family circumstances • Indirect Discrimination - occurs when a requirement or condition is applied to all employees but with which significantly less of a particular group can comply. • Harassment and Bullying - is unwanted conduct that violates people’s dignity or creates an intimidating, hostile, degrading, humiliating or offensive environment. • Victimisation - occurs when an individual suffers unfavourable treatment because they have acted in good faith to assert their rights under one of the discrimination Acts or the Equal Pay Act. For example, on giving evidence in connection with a discrimination claim brought by a fellow worker. It is the policy of Manchester United that in its employment practices and procedures: • The scope and application of this policy applies to all areas of employment within Manchester United including all employment related activity such as advertising, recruitment and selection, promotion and training. • No job applicant or employee will be placed at a disadvantage by requirements or conditions which have disproportionately adverse effects on his or her particular group which cannot be shown to be necessary to the satisfactory conduct of the job. • Entry into Manchester United, and progression within it, will be determined solely by the application of an objective assessment of personal performance and ability. • The scope and application of this policy extends to all of the companies, and their operating departments, within Manchester United and to any contractors working for and on behalf of Manchester United. • The effectiveness of the policy will be reviewed and, where necessary, remedial or corrective action taken. In order to monitor the progress and implementation of this policy Group Human Resources will collect data from all job applicants, monitor all recruitment decisions, maintain and review the employment records of all employees and review information gathered via exit interviews. • An overall responsibility for ensuring successful implementation of this policy will be vested in Group Human Resources. However, all staff involved with recruitment, selection and promotion have a responsibility to ensure equality of opportunity. • Training in this area will be given to all staff involved with recruitment, selection and promotion. Equal Opportunities forms part of the Managers Guide to Recruitment and Selection, Supervisory Training, Management Development Training and is also included in the Company Induction. • All employees are expected to comply with this policy and refrain from any actions, including written or verbal statements, which are detrimental to both the letter and spirit of the policy. Any deliberate failures to observe these requirements will invoke investigation and the disciplinary procedure if appropriate. • Any complaints or grievances arising from perceived failures of adherence to this policy should initially be registered in accordance with Manchester United’s grievance procedure.
