UK Therapist Wins £32,237 Over Menopause Discrimination

Times of India · top

A UK beauty therapist has won £32,237 after being unfairly dismissed for requesting flexible working hours to manage severe menopause symptoms. An employment tribunal ruled she faced disability discrimination and lacked adequate workplace support. The 48-year-old's compensation award, however, is uncertain as the company is undergoing voluntary liquidation. This case highlights the need for employers to accommodate employees experiencing health challenges.
