Migrant workers

The Equality Commission has produced a document entitled Employing Migrant Workers - A Good Practice Guide for Employers for Promoting Equality of Opportunity with regard these communities.

This publication is principally intended to provide employers with practical guidance on how best to comply with their responsibilities under Northern Ireland’s anti-discrimination laws regarding their treatment of migrant workers. However, more generally, it may also serve as a guide for employers regarding their treatment of job applicants and employees from different ethnic groups, regardless of whether those persons are migrant workers or not.

The guidance is given in the form of frequently asked questions and answers.

You may also find other relevant publications with regard to migrant workers and other groups in our Publications section.
