In a bifurcated proceeding, the Tribunal previously found that the respondent's failure to address the applicant's performance issues was tainted by age discrimination, leading to her termination.
In this decision on remedy, the Tribunal concluded that even if a performance management plan had been implemented, the applicant would have been terminated in any event due to her lack of self-awareness regarding her performance deficiencies.
The Tribunal awarded $21,392.48 for lost wages and benefits based on the severance package she likely would have accepted, and $20,000 for injury to dignity, feelings, and self-respect, supported by medical evidence of depression.
Claims for reinstatement, legal expenses, and medical expenses were denied.
