The Workplace Relations Commission has adjourned Ms X’s complaints of disability discrimination and discriminatory dismissal against Abbott Ireland Ltd. Three company witnesses, including her team leader and a senior manager, are due to give evidence at a later date.

Ms X alleges Abbott refused her request to work from home to ease a commute of nearly four hours while she managed endometriosis. Abbott denies the complaints; its representative said Ms X failed probation for conduct and performance reasons, including lateness and uncertified absences.
