The applicant alleged discrimination in employment on the basis of sex (pregnancy), claiming her employer temporarily laid her off and later recalled her to a distant location to force her to quit.
The Tribunal found the lay-off was due to a severe business downturn and that the applicant's pregnancy actually saved her from outright termination.
The Tribunal also found the recall to the Brampton office was a legitimate business decision, not a sham, and that the employer did not fail in its obligations to inform her of alternative opportunities during her leave, as no suitable positions were available.
The application was dismissed.
