The menopause is a natural stage of life which affects around half of the population. An increasing number of women are citing the menopause as being a direct factor in unfair dismissal and sex discrimination claims at employment tribunal.
Menopausal symptoms usually occur between 45 and 55 years of age but it can also happen earlier or later in someone's life. The symptoms of menopause can affect staff differently.
