The WRC rejected a receptionist’s complaint that she was discriminatorily dismissed because of her gender and family status. The decision was dated 16 June 2017. The adjudication officer found that she had been employed by the doctor from 1 December 2015 while on maternity leave. The doctor disputed employing her, but the officer relied on the employment contract and records supplied to a funder. The officer found that the receptionist had not given the required written notice of her intention to return to work and concluded that she had no entitlement to return under the Maternity Protection Acts. The complaint was found not well founded.
