The Workplace Relations Commission found that Aperee Ltd discriminated against Elizabeth O Keeffe on the age ground when she applied for a twilight shift at its nursing home, and ordered €5,000 compensation. The decision was dated 13 December 2023.
O Keeffe said she was told she had been successful after interview, but later received emails saying her application would not proceed. She believed age was the reason after completing forms that asked for her Leaving Certificate year and date of birth. Aperee Ltd did not attend the hearing. The adjudication officer relied on O Keeffe’s uncontested evidence and found that Aperee Ltd discriminated against her on the age ground.
