WRC rejects Waleed Maza’s discrimination claims against Absolute Hotel Limerick Limited

The Workplace Relations Commission found that Waleed Maza’s race and religion discrimination complaints against Absolute Hotel Limerick Limited were not well founded. The decision was dated 19 June 2024. Maza alleged that his race and religion influenced his treatment at work and dismissal after he entered a hotel room without checking its booking status or knocking. The hotel said he was dismissed for breaching room entry and security protocols. The adjudication officer found no evidence supporting an inference of discrimination. The officer noted that, after Maza raised his religious concern about alcohol related duties, the hotel allowed him to avoid that part of the role. His separate working time complaint was withdrawn at the hearing.
