WRC rejects cleaner’s unfair-dismissal claim against AFM Facilities

The WRC found Elena Ecaterina Raluca Gherasim’s unfair-dismissal complaint against Afm Facilities Limited was not well founded. It had no jurisdiction to hear her pregnancy discrimination complaint because it was filed more than six months after the last alleged act; her working-time complaint was withdrawn. Gherasim alleged reduced or absent hours and that her fixed-term contract was not renewed because of her pregnancy. The WRC found the contract had been renewed after her pregnancy disclosure and did not find the dismissal unfair.
