Employers with transgender staff should assist them as they change
sex, proposed Labour Department guidelines say.

Such assistance would include helping them to decide which toilets to
use and ensuring the person's new name was used.

The draft plan says employers should meet an employee intending to
change sex and establish a "written action plan" to ensure their
workplace transition was smooth.

Employees needed to feel welcome and should be encouraged to use
facilities applicable to their new identity.
