2011/25 Statistics alone insufficient to establish presumption of “glass ceiling” (GE)
An employee who is not promoted to a higher position and who alleges that this is because there is a “glass ceiling”, must establish facts from which it may be presumed that there has been gender discrimination. Providing statistics to the effect that women are underrepresented in senior positions is insufficient for this purpose.
