The applicant, a Sinhalese man originally from Sri Lanka, alleged that his employer discriminated against him and subjected him to reprisals by reclassifying his position from cook to pizza maker, resulting in lower wages.
The Tribunal dismissed the allegations relating to incidents between 2007 and 2011 as untimely, finding the delay was not incurred in good faith.
On the merits of the 2012 reclassification, the Tribunal found insufficient evidence that the decision was based on the applicant's race, place of origin, ethnic origin, or as a reprisal.
The evidence showed the reclassification affected multiple employees of different backgrounds and was a business decision, not a discriminatory act.
