Raquel Vieira dos Santos Silva, a procurement consultant, has been awarded over €136,000 after her former employer, eTeam Workforce Ltd, unlawfully pressured her to sign a contract termination while she was on maternity leave. The Workplace Relations Commission found her dismissal discriminatory, noting that she was coerced into signing an amended contract under threat of losing her pay. The decision highlights significant breaches of the Employment Equality Act 1998 and the Unfair Dismissals Act 1977.
