Detriment

Detriment at Work

If you have suffered a detriment at work because of something you have complained to your employer about, you may be able to make a claim. A detriment is being subjected to some kind of disadvantage other than being dismissed from your job (unless you are a “worker” and not an “employee”). The term covers a broad range of unfair treatment, for example a failure to promote, demotion, closer monitoring, ostracism, suspension, disciplinary action and others.

You may be able to claim compensation as a result of the detriment. This can include an award called an “injury to feelings” award in certain cases. It may also include financial loss, if any has been suffered. For example, if the detriment is the denial of a promotion, compensation for the loss of salary increase could potentially be claimed. An employment tribunal would have to assess what loss was attributable to the detriment claimed.
