Company ordered to pay former worker €6,000 after 'hormones in her head' comment

A medical technology firm has been ordered to pay a sales rep €6,000 after a company director told her that she had "hormones in her head".

In the discrimination case before the Workplace Relations Commission (WRC), adjudication officer Joe Donnelly accepted that the director made that comment to the sales rep after she raised a number of issues over his management style during an earlier work event in Dubai.
