By Tadhg O'Sullivan

Historic decision · Decision date:

Place: no local area assigned from the source.

The WRC found that a pharmaceutical company did not discriminate against a tech worker over promotion and workplace treatment. The decision was dated 31 August 2023.

The worker alleged discrimination on disability and gender grounds. The adjudication officer found that the company was unaware of a potential disability before August 2020, and that the evidence did not support an inference of gender discrimination in a promotion competition. The worker also accepted that a later appointment was not discriminatory.

The worker remains employed by the company. The WRC found that the company did not discriminate against him.
