Place: no local area assigned from the source.

The Workplace Relations Commission awarded Tamara Vuletic €40,000 after finding that Capel Abbey Limited discriminated against her by dismissing her because of her pregnancy. The decision was dated 5 February 2025.

Vuletic said she told the company about her pregnancy before her employment ended. Capel Abbey Limited gave insufficient funds and decreased activity as reasons for the dismissal. The company did not attend the hearing, and the WRC found it had not rebutted the inference of discrimination.
