“This has been an awful experience. I went from enjoying a job for three years to dreading going into work.”
A Co Armagh man has settled his disability discrimination case against his former employer Home Bargains for £25,000.
While he was happy to help on checkouts, he could only do so for short periods of time as he needed to move around due to his disability. Ryan said it was agreed with his employer, as a reasonable adjustment, that he would only work in the warehouse and fill shelves. But despite this agreement, he alleges he was again ordered to work on the checkouts.
“I was honest with my employer about my disability from the start. I was eager to work. I wanted to do a good job, but it was as if some supervisors and managers simply did not care about my disability. In the end, I felt I had no option but to resign as I felt it was damaging my health.” Mary Kitson, Senior Legal Officer with the Equality Commission for Northern Ireland, said: “There is simply no place for disability discrimination in workplaces in Northern Ireland.
