The Workplace Relations Commission found that Hellermanntyton Limited breached its obligation to confirm changes to Jackie Hickey’s employment terms in writing. The decision, dated 26 January 2024, upheld that complaint but found her constructive dismissal and gender discrimination complaints not well founded. Hickey said she was expected to maintain her former workload after moving to a three-day week and that male colleagues received more administrative support and better motoring expenses. The company disputed that she had been put under pressure. The officer found there was no signed copy of the changed contract, but Hickey suffered no material detriment, so no compensation was awarded.
