Jasmine Olaru was awarded €19,000 by the Workplace Relations Commission for sexual harassment and related workplace breaches. The proceedings were reported on 15 May 2024.

The award included €13,000 for gender discrimination and sexual harassment, €3,000 for victimisation and €3,000 over missed work breaks. The adjudicator also ordered Remo Foods Ltd, which operates the Domino’s Pizza shop, to review the effectiveness of its anti-sexual-harassment policies and training.

The ruling followed Ms Olaru’s complaints about repeated sexual harassment by colleagues during her first job. She said she was 18 and still at secondary school when she started at the shop in February 2022. The adjudicator found her evidence credible and uncontested, citing the name badge with breast symbols that she had kept and produced at the hearing.
