Employer discriminated against worker in Hereford after maternity leave

A recruitment worker has been awarded over £25,000 after a tribunal ruled her employer discriminated against her by moving offices without informing her while she was on maternity leave. The employee, Anna Munkevics, returned to her Hereford workplace after a year off to find the office empty. The tribunal found the company reneged on a return-to-work agreement and failed to communicate the office closure, leading to the discrimination claim. The judge cited the lack of communication about the office move as evidence of discrimination related to her maternity leave. The tribunal also upheld claims of constructive dismissal and breach of contract.
