EELC 2018/36 An expectation that a disabled employee should work long hours was potentially discriminatory (UK) |
| Journal | European Employment Law Cases, Issue 4 2018 |
| Keywords | Disability discrimination |
| Authors | Tom McEvoy |
| AbstractAuthor's information |
|
The Court of Appeal has confirmed that an expectation that a disabled employee would work long hours was a ‘provision, criterion or practice’ in a disability discrimination claim regarding reasonable adjustments. It also held that, on the facts, the employer’s conduct had caused the employee to resign and this entitled him to claim constructive unfair dismissal. |

| Authors | Lucy O’Neill |
| AbstractAuthor's information |

In a recent decision, the Labour Court awarded an employee € 7,500 for working in excess of 48 hours a week, contrary to working time legislation. The complainant allegedly regularly checked and responded to emails outside of business hours, occasionally after midnight. The Labour Court reiterated it is the employer’s responsibility to ensure that employees are not permitted to work beyond the statutory maximum period and that if an employer is aware that an employee is working excessive hours, must take steps to curtail this. |
