Allgemeines Gleichbehandlungsgesetz (General Equal Treatment Act) since 2006: protection from disadvantage based on the seven protected grounds — race or ethnic origin, gender, religion, disability, age, sexual identity, ideology.
Direct and indirect disadvantage, harassment, sexual harassment, instruction to discriminate — with practice examples from job postings, promotion decisions, and termination.
§ 12 AGG protective duties: organizational measures, employee training, complaint office under § 13, posting of the AGG at the workplace — the liability privilege when these duties are met.
Right to complain (§ 13), right to refuse performance (§ 14), damages and compensation (§ 15) — with the two-month exclusion period under § 15(4) and the BAG line on three months’ gross pay for rejected applicants.
§ 22 AGG burden-of-proof reversal: when an indicium suffices, what the employer must rebut, statistical indicia (under-representation of women / older workers) — including BAG 8 AZR 488/19 (median lower female pay) and BAG 8 AZR 300/24 (pair comparison, 23 October 2025).
EU Directive 2023/970 (transposition deadline 7 June 2026): information right, pay-gap reporting from 100 employees in tiered timelines, joint pay assessment when an unjustified gap exceeds 5%, gender-neutral job evaluation, salary range in postings.
Microaggressions, “not a culture fit”, language policies, jokes, promotion decisions, AI recruiting tools — where discrimination begins, how to react, and the algorithmic-discrimination dimension under EU AI Act Annex III point 4.
Manager responsibility on a single page: know the protected grounds, write neutral job postings, take complaints seriously, document everything, watch out for algorithmic bias under § 22 AGG — with personal action card.
