2010/47: Employer ordered to give employee who was discriminated against meaningful work and to pay her compensation equalling three years' salary (IR)
An employee alleged that she was given a "dummy" job by her employer, and that less experienced and less qualified younger men were groomed to take the promotions she would have expected to obtain in the normal course of her career. This claim of discrimination on the grounds of gender along with a claim of victimisation for making a complaint, contrary to the Employment Equality Acts 1998 - 2008 (the "EEA"), resulted in one of the highest compensation payments in recent times before the Equality Tribunal in Ireland.
