Firm ordered to pay €16,500 to pregnant accountant who felt isolated and humiliated by male boss

An accountant who felt isolated, unjustifiably criticised and humiliated by her male boss while pregnant has been awarded €16,500 for her unfair dismissal.

In the case, the woman - who had already suffered two miscarriages and as a result her pregnancy was deemed high risk - said that when seven months pregnant on March 12, 2018 she felt threatened by her boss/employer.
