WRC finds Marketing Director required to work 3 days on site was not discriminated against

The complainant was employed as a Director of Marketing from 2 August 2022 until her dismissal on 2 May 2023.

The marketing professional submitted a complaint to the Workplace Relations Commission on 29 August 2023 that she was discriminated against and harassed on family status grounds contrary to the provisions of the Employment Equality Acts 1998-2015 when the introduction by the company of a remote working policy in February 2023 required employees to work three days a week in the office. She argued that this requirement was in conflict with an earlier agreement between herself and the Company CEO.
