€63,000 award to Polish receptionist quashed

The tribunal ruled last August that the compensation should be paid to Sylwia Wach by Travelodge Management Ltd.
Ms Wach had worked at Travelodge Waterford since 2007. After working an average of 42.9 hours per week, she went on maternity leave in March 2011. She told the tribunal that when she came back her hours had been reduced and another staff member had been brought in from Cork to do shifts.
