Tribunal awards $3,500 for pregnancy discrimination after employer threatened to reduce hours due to pregnancy-related absences.
The applicant alleged discrimination and harassment in employment on the basis of pregnancy after experiencing complications and a miscarriage.
She claimed the respondents made inappropriate comments, reduced her hours, and terminated her employment.
The Tribunal found insufficient evidence of harassment or termination, concluding the applicant quit following a heated misunderstanding.
However, the Tribunal found the respondents discriminated against the applicant by indicating her hours might be reduced and she might be replaced due to absences related to her pregnancy complications.
The applicant was awarded $3,500 for injury to dignity, feelings, and self-respect.
