Publisher of site that 'supports mothers' discriminated against pregnant employee, rules WRC

Workplace Relations Commission (WRC) Adjudicator, Hugh Lonsdale, said that Sandra Varian would have had her probationary period extended if she had not been going on maternity leave and this would have been an opportunity to convert some of the business in the pipeline and develop new business in the new year.

The operator of the everymum.ie online parenting community has been ordered to pay €32,500 compensation to its former group sales manager for her discriminatory pregnancy dismissal.

This follows Workplace Relations Commission (WRC) Adjudicator, Hugh Lonsdale, ordering Zahra Publishing Limited, trading as Zahra, to pay Sandra Varian €32,500 for her gender discriminatory dismissal related to her pregnancy in December 2021.
