flag Irish pharmacist Marie Ronan wins €20,000 in compensation after HSE's part-time work rule was ruled discriminatory.

flag A pharmacist in Ireland, Marie Ronan, won €20,000 in compensation after the Workplace Relations Commission ruled the Health Service Executive (HSE) discriminated against her by denying her a promotion due to a part-time work requirement. flag The HSE’s rule requiring at least two years of half-time or greater experience was found to indirectly disadvantage part-time workers, especially women, despite Ronan’s 15 years of experience, including nine in her specialty. flag The WRC ruled the policy lacked objective justification under equality laws and ordered the HSE to review its criteria.
