The Workplace Relations Commission found that a Traveller community discrimination complaint over a cancelled hotel event booking was brought outside the time limit and was not well founded; the merits were not decided. The decision was dated 26 April 2021.
A worker said the hotel confirmed a booking for an education event for Traveller community members, then cancelled it after learning who would attend. The hotel opposed extending the deadline. The adjudicator found the worker had not supported her reasons for delay with documents and preferred the hotel’s evidence that she had access to expert legal advice within the two-month period.
