The Labour Court disallowed Carissa Farrell’s appeal against a finding that her claim over maternity-leave pay was not well founded. The determination was signed on 30 May 2013. Ms Farrell said she was treated less favourably than a permanent Carlow County Council employee because she received no salary during maternity leave. Carlow Arts Centre Limited argued that the overall terms of Ms Farrell’s fixed-term contract justified the difference. The Court found that the overall value of her contract exceeded her comparator’s, providing the respondent with a complete defence to the claim.
